The receiver’s high-profile week of awards continues.
FORT WORTH – After a dominant performance on Saturday against the Ponies, securing the iron skillet's home in Fort Worth for the foreseeable future, TCU wide receiver Eric McAlister has been named the Walter Camp Football Foundation's National Offensive Player of the Week.
McAlister's 254-yard, three-touchdown performance has been the talk of the college football world since Saturday afternoon, garnering him multiple awards including league and all-star game (Shrine and Senior Bowl) recognitions.
He is the first TCU player to earn the honor since Max Duggan did so following the win over No. 18 Oklahoma in 2022, and the first TCU receiver to do so since Josh Doctson's school-record 267 yards against Texas Tech in 2015. McAlister finished just short of breaking that record.
In the 22 year history of the award, McAlister is the 12th Horned Frog to be named the foundation's national player of the week on either the offensive or defensive side of the ball.

No. 24 TCU travels to Arizona State on Friday night for a 8 p.m. CT kick off on FOX Sports.
