DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson senior Lanny Funsten earned a College Football Performance Awards Wide Receiver of the Week Honorable Mention Monday for his record-breaking performance Saturday.
Funsten broke a Pioneer Football League single-game record with 17 receptions, earned a PFL season-high 246 yards receiving and also scored a touchdown against Jacksonville, which boasted the FCS' top-ranked passing defense entering the game. In the process, he became Davidson's all-time leader in both receptions (191) and yards receiving (2,362), and is the PFL active career leader in both categories.
It was the third-best single-game performance in receptions and fourth-best performance in receiving yards among all FCS receivers this season.
CFPA recipients are selected exclusively based upon objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams.
The Raleigh, N.C. native now leads the PFL with 40 receptions for 540 yards this season, which through six games results in an average of 6.7 receptions and 90.0 yards per game. The averages rank 11th and 16th in the FCS, respectively.
Funsten, who was named the PFL Offensive Player of the Week Sunday, joins previous 2012 Davidson CFPA honorees Patrick Moynahan (linebacker), Dan Casey (defensive back), Reese Williams (tight end) and Chazzo Habliston (punter).
After playing its last three games at home, the 'Cats will play three of their next four on the road, starting at Campbell Saturday at 6 p.m.
