Our WCU Player of the Week presented by Carolina Ford Dealers is Bryan McCollum of Football.
McCollum, who earned SoCon Special Teams Player of the Week honors, scored nine points in Western Carolina's 27-26 road win over Furman. He made three PATs and booted a pair of field goals, with the second being a game-winning 36-yarder in the final seconds of the game. It was his fourth game with multiple field goals this season.
McCollum leads the Catamounts with 72 points this season and ranks second in the Southern Conference in both scoring and scoring average (8.0 points per game). The Sanford, N.C., native is now 14-for-15 (.933) this season on field goals, ranking first nationally among FCS kickers with double-digit attempts and fourth overall in field goal percentage.
