Brockport, NY - Following a Homecoming Weekend win over RPI in Week 3 for Brockport Football, Kyle Slywka was named the Empire 8 Football Special Teams Player of the Week. Kyle Slywka affected the game in all three phases, including special teams for Brockport in the team's 45-10 win.

To start off the game, Slywka surprised everyone lining up at wideout and on the first play of the game going 75 yards for a receiving touchdown. It was the first reception and offensive touchdown of his collegiate career.

Defensively, he was a key part of the secondary that helped hold RPI to just 185 yards of total offense for the game. The Engineers only completed eight of their 22 pass attempts for 111 yards with three interceptions on the day (1 TD).

Then on special teams he serves as a primary kick returner for the Golden Eagles. He not only had one kick return for 23 yards, but he also blocked a punt in the second quarter making his impact felt all over the field this past Saturday.

This is Slywka's second blocked kick in two seasons with Brockport, getting his hands on a punt against Alfred in 2025. He scooped that ball up himself and ran it back 33 yards for a touchdown.

Brockport improved to 2-1 on the season following the big win at home. The team heads to Hartwick in Week 4 to begin Empire 8 play.
