Oklahoma wide receiver, Dede Westbrook has been named the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the sixth week of the college football season. This is the fourth time a Big 12 player has been honored this season and the second athlete from OU.

Westbrook set multiple OU records to help the Sooners to a 45-40 win over Texas at the Cotton Bowl. Westbrook finished with ten catches, the most ever by a Sooner against the Longhorns, for a school-record of 232 yards. Westbrook collected a career-high three touchdown catches from 71, 42, and 47 yards out.

The Sooners became just the fifth team in FBS history to record with a 300-yard passer (Baker Mayfield; 390), a 200-yard rusher (Samaje Perine; 214), and a 200-yard receiver (Westbrook) in a single game.

In Big 12 play, Westbrook leads the league in receptions (8.5 per game), receiving yards (195.0 per game), and scoring (15.0 points per game).

In addition, the nominee must to have been born in Texas or played football for a school in the state.
