What is 'Titans of the Week' on the Detroit Mercy Athletics Website?

Updated

"Titans of the Week" is a recurring recognition feature on detroittitans.com, the official athletics website of the University of Detroit Mercy. It spotlights standout student-athletes from the university's athletic programs, typically highlighting strong individual or team performances from the past week. You'll find it listed as one of the main content sections on the site's homepage, alongside "Top Stories," "Latest News," and "Videos."

Where it appears on the site

The Detroit Mercy Athletics homepage organizes its content into several main sections. Based on the site's structure, these include:

  • Main — the primary landing area
  • Top Stories — featured headlines
  • Latest News — recent articles and updates
  • Titans of the Week — the weekly student-athlete spotlight
  • Videos — video content
  • Photo Galleries — image collections
  • Social Media — links to official channels

"Titans of the Week" sits among these recurring sections, so it functions as a regular editorial feature rather than a one-time article. It appears in the same navigation flow as news and video content, which means visitors browsing the homepage will encounter it without needing to search.

What it highlights

The feature recognizes weekly performances across Detroit Mercy's athletic programs. In practice, that means:

  • Student-athletes who delivered notable performances in their sport during the week
  • Multiple sports — because the university fields a range of teams, the honorees can come from different programs rather than a single sport
  • A rotating cast — since it's weekly, the featured athletes change as the season progresses

If you follow a specific Titans team, checking "Titans of the Week" is a quick way to see who is performing well across the department, not just in one sport.

How to use it

  1. Go to detroittitans.com.
  2. Look for the "Titans of the Week" section among the homepage content blocks (near "Top Stories," "Latest News," and "Videos").
  3. Open the feature to see the current week's honorees.

Because it's a recurring section, the specific athletes change each week — so if you want the latest honorees, check the current homepage rather than relying on an older link.

Why it matters

For fans, recruits, and families, "Titans of the Week" serves as a quick digest of who is standing out right now. It complements the broader "Latest News" and "Top Stories" sections by narrowing the focus to individual weekly achievement, and it gives smaller or less-covered sports a chance to be recognized alongside the marquee programs.

If your interest is general Titans coverage, start with "Top Stories" and "Latest News." If your interest is specifically who performed best this week, "Titans of the Week" is the section to check.
