Freshman quarterback Andrew Body was named the SWAC's Offensive Player of the Week on Monday after his performance against Southern this past weekend.
Â
A freshman from Corpus Christi, Texas, Body was 28-of-35 for 338 yards and rushed for 85 yards on 13 attempts in TSU's 35-31 thriller win over Southern on Saturday. He set up the game-winning touchdown with a 21-yard run on TSU's final drive as the Tigers beat Southern 35-31 for the first time since 2011. This marks the first time since 2012 a TSU student-athlete has earned the offensive player of the week honor.
TSU is back in action this Saturday at Grambling State for a 2 p.m. kickoff.
