10.20.20

Memphis quarterback Brady White has added Maxwell Award National Player of the Week honors to his list of plaudits following his performance in the Tigers' 50-49 win against UCF last Saturday.

White helped the Tigers overcome a 21-point second-half deficit for their largest come-from-behind win in program history. He completed 34 of 50 passes for a career-high and school-record 486 yards and six touchdowns, while he also had 30 rushing yards with another score, tying The American’s single-game record with seven total touchdowns.

White threw two touchdown passes in the final 3:41 of the fourth quarter, including the game-winning TD with 1:08 left to help Memphis end a 13-game series slide against the Knights.

White also has been recognized as the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week, the College Football Performance Awards National Performer of the Week and the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week. He was listed among the Davey O'Brien Award Great 8 and the Manning Award Stars of the Week as well.
