Chase Named SEC Player of the Week

BATON ROUGE – LSU's record-setting wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been selected as the Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in the 58-37 win over Ole Miss on Saturday in Oxford, the league office announced on Monday.

Chase, a sophomore from Rummel High School in Metairie, La., became LSU's single-season leader in touchdown receptions on Saturday with 13, moving past Dwayne Bowe, who had held the previous mark of 12 since 2006.

Chase was part of an LSU offense that racked up 714 total yards against the Rebels, which is the second-highest total in school history and the most ever for the Tigers in a conference game.
