COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – For the first time this season and third time in his career, Colorado State University Pueblo redshirt senior receiver Reggie Retzlaff (Corona, Calif./Riverside City College) was named this week's Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon.
 

Retzlaff becomes the fifth different Pack player to earn RMAC Player of the Week accolades in football and first to earn Offensive Player of the Week honors. Retzlaff joins junior kicker Jackson Smith (Centennial, Colo./Santa Barbara City College), who has earned Special Teams Player of the Week honors three times this season (Oct. 6, Oct. 20 and Nov. 3), while senior receiver Reece Robinson (Los Angeles, Calif./Antelope Valley) earned Special Teams Player of the Week honors on Sept. 29. On defense, junior linebacker Bryson Torrie (Denver, Colo./Vista Peak) earned Defensive Player of the Week honors on Oct. 20 and Sept. 29 and junior safety Kahden Rullo (Denver, Colo./Grandview) earned Defensive Player of the Week accolades on Sept. 1.

Retzlaff earns this week's Offensive Player of the Week accolade after catching eight passes for 82 yards and hauling in a season-high tying three touchdown passes, including a 12-yard reception in overtime to propel the then sixth-ranked ThunderWolves to to a 41-34 overtime win this past Saturday at Mines. In the win over the Orediggers, the Pack trailed by 22 points with a little over four minutes left in the second quarter and the 22-point comeback was the largest comeback win in program history. Retzlaff, who has now had two three -TD outings this season, scored his first touchdown on an 18-yard reception to cut the Pack's halftime deficit to 28-13 and then added a 14-yard touchdown with 9:23 left in regulation to move the Pack with 34-27. Retzlaff is now the third receiver this season to record multiple three-TD outings this season. In addition, the three touchdown catches pushed his season total to 13, which is a new single-season school mark for touchdown receptions. 

Entering this week's regular season finale at home against 22nd-ranked Chadron State, Retzlaff now holds the school's single-season records for receptions (67 in 2024), receiving yards (1,228 in 2024), and touchdowns (13 in 2025), along with being the school's all-time leader in career receptions (69), career receiving yards (2,789 yards), and touchdown receptions (37). He has had two or more touchdown receptions in five of nine games this season and has had 13 games in his Pack career with two or more touchdown catches. He has now caught five or more passes in a game in seven games and has had 11 games with seven or more receptions. On the season, Retzlaff is second in the league in receiving yards (756), receiving yards per game (84.0), receptions per game (6.0), and third in TD receptions (13) and currently ranks second among active Division II players in career TD receptions (37) and is fourth among active Division II players in career receiving yards (2,789), and is the D-II active leader in career receiving yards per game (90.0) and is eighth among active D-II players in career touchdowns scored (37). 

In addition to Retzlaff, the league named Chadron State redshirt sophomore defensive back Aiden Kuester as the Defensive Player of the Week and Chadron State senior kicker Wilson Yee as the Special Teams Player of the Week.
 
Retzlaff and the No. 5 ThunderWolves (9-1 overall, 8-0 RMAC) will return to the football field this Saturday, Nov. 15 as they host 22nd-ranked Chadron State for a 1:05 p.m. game in the ThunderBowl. The game will be to determine the RMAC champion in football as both teams are undefeated in league play. Prior to Saturday's game, the Pack will honor its 23-player senior class in a pregame ceremony. The Pack enters the game having won 24 straight RMAC games dating to the 2023 season, which is currently the longest active conference win streak in Division II football.
