North Carolina – Ryan Switzer (wide receiver)
This honor really goes out to Switzer for his tremendous workload over the past two weeks as a key contributor to a pair of big-time Tar Heel wins.
The dynamic receiver has tallied 30 receptions — yes, 30 — in his past two outings, including 14 for 159 yards this past Saturday to help lift UNC to a 37-35 upset over No. 12 Florida State. Six of those catches came on third-down situations to move the chains.
That performance came one week after the senior hauled in a tie for the school-record 16 catches and a touchdown against Pittsburgh, where teammate Bug Howard caught the game-winning touchdown as time expired.
Switzer has been a key cog in North Carolina’s imposing offense that boasts the 12th best passing game in the nation. Switzer has nearly 30 more catches than any other Tar Heel this season (47) and is also always a threat to score on special teams.
With North Carolina’s victory over the Seminoles, it moved back into the top 25 at No. 17.
Truth be told, there were multiple Tar Heels worthy of one of this week’s stickers like quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who continued his impressive 2016 campaign with 405 yards and three touchdowns, or kicker Nick Weiler, who drilled the game-winning 54-yard field goal.
But Switzer gets the nod this week.
