WASHINGTON, D.C. – Lamar West Jr. has been named Landmark Offensive Athlete of the Week after a stellar performance on Saturday to close the regular season against Juniata, it was announced today. It is the second time this season that he has earned the honor and he is the only Catholic player to do so this year.

West capped off his season in style with a four touchdown performance, three of which came on the ground, to help the Cardinals end the regular season on a high note with a 35-31 win over the Eagles. He carried the ball 19 times for a season-high 188 yards, which included a 79-yard touchdown run which was his longest rush of the season and the longest by a Catholic player. He also hauled in three passes for 50 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown catch and run that gave the Cardinals the lead late in the fourth quarter and turned into the game-winning score.

West became the first running back to rush for three touchdowns in a game for the program since the 2014 season and his 188 yards on the ground were the most by any player in a game in the Landmark this season. For the season, he now has 494 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns while averaging 6.7 yards per carry which is the most by any player in the conference with at least 70 rushes this season.
