Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week
TYLER, Texas – Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the ninth week of the college football season.
King accounted for 377 yards of total offense and four touchdowns to lead Georgia Tech to a 46-42 win over No. 17 North Carolina. The Yellow Jackets’ quarterback completed 23-of-30 passes for 287 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed eight times for 90 yards, including a 52-yard run in the fourth quarter that set up his game-winning five-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brett Seither with 4:28 to go in the ballgame.
King led Georgia Tech to scores on seven of its final nine possessions of the game (not including a kneel-down at the end), including three straight touchdown drives of 75 yards or more in the fourth quarter. His 377 yards of total offense were the 11th-most in Georgia Tech history, while his 76.7 completion percentage was the second-highest in school history for a passer with at least 30 attempts. King became the second quarterback in Tech history to throw at least four touchdown passes three times in a season, joining Joe Hamilton in 1999, who did it three times en route to finishing second in voting for the Heisman Trophy that year.
Haynes King is a graduate of Longview High School in Longview, Texas.
