Sandusky stepped up on a big stage to lead all Great Midwest receivers in yards during Week 3 while producing one of the longest plays in conference history.
 
The Chargers had missed first team all-conference wideout Trey Brock in Week 2 vs. Michigan Tech, but players like Konnor Maloney and Sandusky pushed their games to the next level.
 
Sandusky continued the early-season surge with four catches and 143 yards with an 80-yard touchdown against No. 12 Ohio Dominican as the Chargers pulled the upset over a nationally-ranked opponent on the road.
 
The 80-yard connection from QB Chance Stewart is one of the top 10 longest plays in the conference record books and gave Hillsdale a 27-10 lead late in the third quarter.
 
Sandusky has nine yards and 177 yards receiving on the season with a pair of touchdowns. He is also averaging almost 29 yards on kick returns, including a long of 51.
