Massey Named AAC Special Teams Player Of The Week
IRVING, Texas (The American/SMU) – Sophomore Bryan Massey was named the American Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, league officials announced Monday.
Massey had a 95-yard kick return touchdown to help the Mustangs overcome a 14-point deficit and defeat Navy, 31-24, on the road Saturday. The sophomore now has a pair of returns for 134 yards this season.
In six games, Massey also has 14 tackles, including one for loss, an interception for 48 yards and three pass breakups.
