TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo junior quarterback Tucker Gleason was named the Iron Workers Local Union No. 55 Ironman of the Game for his performance in Toledo's Week 3 victory over Mississippi State.
 
Gleason completed 23-of-28 passes for 285 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover in the Rockets' 41-17 triumph over the Bulldogs. He added 40 yards on 10 rushes for 325 total yards of offense. Gleason's performance was good for a career high in completions and a third-straight three-touchdown game.
 
The Tampa, Fla. native was named the Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Week and nationally as a Maxwell Award Star of the Week and to the Davey O'Brien Foundation's "Great 8."
 
The weekly award comes from a vote by Rocket fans on Twitter/X among top Toledo performers from each game. Linebacker Daniel Bolden (1.5 sacks, 6 tackles), safety Maxen Hook (12 tackles) and wide receiver Jerjuan Newton (5 receptions, 62 yards, 2 TDs) were also considered.
 
Toledo will play its non-conference finale on Saturday, Sept. 21 at Western Kentucky. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. CT on ESPN+.
