HONORARY CAPTAIN – DAVID HARPER
This week's honorary captain is David Harper, Class of 1975. Harper was a standout quarterback for the Wildcats. The Stone Mt., Ga., native was a three-year letterwinner and had his most impressive season in 1973. Harper led the Southern Conference in passing as he completed 175-of-329 passes for 1,885 yards, which ranked third nationally his junior campaign.
LAST TIME OUT
Despite William Morris becoming Davidson's all-time leader in receiving yards, the Wildcats suffered a 31-10 setback to Marist in PFL action Saturday at Richardson Stadium. Davidson jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter off a 29-yard field goal from Trevor Smith and a 92-yard touchdown pass from Taylor Mitchell to Morris, but it wasn't enough as back-to-back turnovers that led to Marist touchdowns in the third quarter doomed the 'Cats. Morris finished the day with 106 yards off three receptions that allowed him to surpass Lanny Funsten's 2,770-yard record, which was set in 2012, with 2,823 career yards. Davidson's defense finished with six sacks and nine tackles for a loss, which marks the first time since 2009 the Wildcats recorded six sacks in a game.
MORRIS RECORD WATCH
Senior WR William Morris is one step closer to setting all three of Davidson's all-time receiving records as broke Lanny Funsten's career yards mark against Marist on Oct. 24. Morris needs just 23 receptions and three touchdowns to tie Funsten in both categories. Morris also holds the single-season receiving yards record with 1,224 that was set in 2014.
