TYLER, Texas – Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the seventh week of the college football season.
Lamb made a career-high 10 catches for 171 yards and a career-high-tying three touchdowns in Oklahoma's 34-27 win over No. 11 Texas. He caught a 1-yard pass on the Sooners' opening possession, then fought past five defenders for a 51-yard score in the third quarter that gave OU a 17-10 lead. He found the end zone by breaking multiple tackles again in the fourth quarter to put OU ahead 27-17.
The junior tied Dede Westbrook for the most receptions by an OU receiver against the Longhorns and became the third Sooner to catch three touchdown passes in the rivalry game (Westbrook and Manuel Johnson).
The Richmond, Texas product has scored a touchdown in eight straight games (dating back to the 2018 Big 12 Championship), which is tied for the second-longest streak in school history. The record is 10 straight games by Westbrook in 2016. He ranks third at OU in career touchdowns (28), is sixth in career receiving yards (2,575), and 11th in career receptions (139).
Lamb is tied for the national lead with 10 touchdown receptions this season and ranks 12th with his 101.7 receiving yards per game.
Lamb was also named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week and the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week.
CeeDee Lamb is a graduate of Foster HS in Richmond, Texas.
