NASHVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum College quarterback Bo Cordell has been named the Tennessee Sportswriters Association's Offensive Football Player of the Week announced officials Tuesday. Cordell has earned this honor four times this season by the TSWA.

Cordell passed for 569 yards and five touchdowns in Saturday's 49-42 come-from-behind win over Mars Hill University in the season finale for both teams. The 569-yard effort was the second-best passing performance in both TC and South Atlantic Conference history (Cordell passed for a TC and SAC record 596 yards earlier this season vs. Elizabeth City State).

For his efforts, he was also named the South Atlantic Conference Offensive Player of the Week for a third time this year and ninth time for his career.

The Cincinnati, Ohio graduate student established two more records for his stellar career last weekend. He became NCAA Division II's all-time leader in total offensive yards (16,432), while his 112 career touchdown passes are a new SAC record.

The Harlon Hill Trophy candidate also rushed for a touchdown as the Pioneers (4-7, 2-5 SAC) rallied from a 42-28 third quarter deficit, scoring 21 unanswered points.

Cordell leaves Tusculum the holder of 15 NCAA records, including career passing yards (16,265), career completions (1397) and career pass attempts (2187).

In his 46-game career, he has passed for 200 or more yards 42 times and 300-plus yards on 31 occasions.
