WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Nov. 13) – After guiding the Yellow Jacket football team to a 38-17 win over Thiel back on Saturday, Nov. 7, junior quarterback Brad Dawson was named the Waynesburg University Athlete of the Week.

With no women’s teams in action over the week of Nov. 1-7, no women’s athlete of the week was selected.

The standout signal-caller also rushed for 49 yards and a fourth score on the day.

His efforts also earned the Pittsburgh native the title of Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Offensive Player of the Week for football.
