MEMPHIS — Memphis senior tight end Sean Dykes has been named honorable mention Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Player of the Week for his performance in a 34-33 win over USF last Saturday.
Dykes had seven catches for a career-high 147 yards and two touchdowns as the Tigers improved to 4-2 overall and 3-2 in the American Athletic Conference. He eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for his career, becoming just the third tight end in Memphis history to surpass the milestone. He is now 40 yards shy of Joey Magnifico's program record for career receiving yards by a tight end.
