Two TD kickoff returns (93 and 85 yards), one TD punt return (35 yards), 152 receiving yards on 7 receptions. Set Southland All Purpose Yards record at 365.
The New Iberia native was hailed by the organization College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) as its national Performer of the Week, National All-Purpose Player of the Week, National Kickoff Returner of the Week and National Punt Returner of the Week. In addition, he was named an honorable mention National Wide Receiver of the Week.

He's the first player in Division I football, FBS schools included, to garner that many awards in one week in the history of the CFPA.
Only snarky comment I have is: Where were he and the rest of the Cowboys offensive players the previous week against Southeastern Louisiana. Really gripes me that a team that's shown so much offensive capability at times and has the skill players it does laid two massive eggs where they didn't show up on offense not only once but TWICE this season. And no I don't think it's just because they ran into some great defenses.

I don't know what it was but, for instance, Northwestern State put up 490 yards and 27 first downs on Southeastern Louisiana. Samford put up close to 600 yards. Dominant defense is not what makes Southeastern Louisiana a very good team. It's their offense. There is no excuse, none, for McNeese only getting 191 total yards and 7 points against the Lions.

Yes I can see them losing to Southeastern Louisiana. Southeastern Louisiana is a very good team. But that kind of offensive performance was inexcusable. They were playing against an average FCS defense, not an elite one.
