WCU Player of the Game (Wofford)




Purple & Gold's
 "Catamount Player of the Game" is redshirt freshman, wide receiver Raphael Williams.  






Raphael Williams caught a school-record 16 passes for 177 receiving yards and two TDs as Western Carolina won its second-straight Southern Conference road game, defeating Wofford 41-21 at Gibbs Stadium.  Williams' 16 receptions eclipsed the previous school benchmark of 15 accomplished twice by Terryon Robinson in both 2014 and 2016 and Eric Rasheed in 1984. It also represents the most catches by a player in the FCS this season. Williams finished with his fourth, 100-yard receiving game this season and his third game with double-digit receptions.



Honorable Mention:  Quarterback Rogan Wells threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns. Wells amassed 357 yards of total offense, adding a team-best 48 rushing yards including a game-opening 32-yard touchdown rush on WCU's opening possession.
