Each week, the Bowling Green State University Athletic Department names the Jet's Pizza Athletes of the Week, as selected by the athletic communications department based on their athletic performances from the previous week. This week's winners are men's basketball player Daeqwon Plowden and track and field student-athlete Kaila Butler.

Daeqwon Plowden, a junior from Philadelphia, Pa., led Bowling Green to a second-consecutive 2-0 week, as the Falcons earned wins over Western Michigan (Jan. 14) and Northern Illinois (Jan. 18). Plowden shot 60.0 percent (12-of-20) from the floor and 55.5 percent (5-of-9) from downtown, averaging 17.0 points and 8.5 rebounds. Plowden began the week with 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting in a road win at Western Michigan. The junior had six rebounds in the contest, as well, and went 2-for-3 from deep.
