DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -  Sthefany Carvalho of B-CU Volleyball and Jaylen Lewis of B-CU Football have been named Wildcat of the Week for the week of October 20-26, 2025.

Graduate transfer Sthefany Carvalho continued her outstanding defensive season for B-CU as the Cats improved their winning streak to eight with wins over UAPB and Grambling State on the road - matching a program record. In two games, she collected 35 digs, eight assists, and a service ace.

Sophomore Jaylen Lewis enjoyed a career day on the B-CU Defense as the Cats earned their fourth win of the season at home to remain undefeated at Daytona Stadium with a 31-14 win over UAPB. The Pensacola product finished the day with four total tackles, none bigger than a pair of sacks for 21 total yards lost. In just Saturday's game, Lewis pulls into a tie for the team lead in sacks, leading in sack yardage.

Each week, The Bethune-Cookman Office of Athletic Communications recognizes one male and one female student-athlete through the Wildcats of the Week award.

This award recognizes student-athletes who have excelled in competition, in the classroom, and in the community over the past week, exemplifying the Championship Culture of Wildcat Athletics.
