CEDAR CITY — Southern Utah University wide receiver Tysson Poots has been named this week's Great West Conference Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Thunderbirds' 31-21 win at North Dakota on Saturday.
Poots, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound senior from Henderson, Nev. caught 13 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown in the game.
Poots, who already holds the top two marks at SUU for receptions in a game, with 15 and 14, equaled the third-best mark in school history with his 13, while the 210 receiving yards is the fifth-highest total at SUU.
