Cato named C-USA Player of the Week

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.– Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato has been named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week after tossing five touchdowns in The Herd’s 61-13 win over Southern Miss.

Cato was 21-of-28 passing for 262 yards and five touchdowns on the afternoon.  Cato got off to a hot start hitting tight end Gator Hoskins for a 27-yard touchdown on the very first offensive play for The Herd.  He threw four touchdown passes in the first quarter.

The junior from Miami, FL also tied Chad Pennington’s school record of 26 consecutive games with a touchdown pass.  It’s the second longest active streak in the country.
