University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wide receiver Joel Bradford was named the Southern Conference co-offensive player of the week, the league announced Monday, sharing the honor with Furman wideout Adam Mims.
In the Mocs’ 42-24 win over Eastern Kentucky on Saturday, the junior from Chattanooga set a school record with 254 receiving yards – on just 11 catches. It was the fifth-best receiving performance in SoCon history.
After three games, Bradford leads the SoCon with an average of 138.3 receiving yards a game. He second in receptions per game with 7.3.
The Mocs (1-2, 0-1 SoCon) return to league play this week at Western Carolina (1-2, 0-0).
