DANBURY, CONN. <\/strong>\u2014 If it\u2019s not enough that the Colonials<\/a> are dominating the regional division with a slew of record-breaking stats and a winning record, running back Octavias McKoy<\/a> has made football history.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From ESPN to the NFL, McKoy\u2019s recent 455-yard single-game rushing record and 15 touchdowns in three games have earned him national recognition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The WCSU senior from Stratford rushed for an NCAA all-divisions 455 yards in the Colonials’ 55-35 win over Worcester State University on Oct. 26. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The following day, McKoy was honored on ESPN’s \u201cCollege Football Live\u201d with a helmet sticker, an honor usually given exclusively to top performers at the Division I level. On Monday, he appeared on ESPN’s \u201cSportsCenter\u201d broadcast. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Colonials close out the season against the Umass-Dartmouth Corsairs on Saturday, Nov. 2, before celebrating Senior Day at the Westside Athletic Complex against Westfield State on Nov. 16.<\/p>\n
