In the passing touchdown category, the Pioneer signal-caller tied the school record for passing touchdowns, becoming the second Utica quarterback to throw for six scores after Andrew Benkwitt did so in 2012. Szalkowski is 55-for-69 (79.7 percent) with 913 passing yards and 10 touchdowns without an interception over two weeks, with the team receiving over 30 votes in the most recent D3football.com poll.
