CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State sophomore Jack Velling has been named the Mackey Award Tight End of the Week, it was announced on Wednesday.
Velling made five catches for 71 yards in a touchdown last Saturday at Arizona. His scored marked his eighth of the season, marking the most ever in a single season by an OSU tight end. It was also his sixth touchdown since Oct. 7 – a three-game stretch – which is tied for the national lead since that date.
