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.
Dawson earned the award after putting together stellar numbers in the Yellow Jackets’ 38-17 PAC win over Thiel on Saturday. The Pittsburgh native threw for 306 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions on 23-of-37 pass attempts.
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.
The Yellow Jackets wrap up their regular season on Saturday when they travel north to face Washington & Jefferson in the PAC Backyard Brawl, as part of PAC Rivalry Week.
