FSU’s Travis Rudolph Named ACC Receiver of the Week

Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph received weekly ACC honors for his performance against Charleston Southern on Saturday.

Rudolph was named ACC Receiver of the Week after finishing with seven catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns in FSU’s 52-8 victory. Both of Rudolph’s touchdowns came in the first quarter and from 36 and 21 yards out.

After leading the Seminoles in catches, yards and touchdown grabs a season ago, Rudolph is at it again, topping the team in all three categories. Rudolph is tied with Jesus Wilson for the team-lead with 13 receptions, has a 1-yard lead in receiving yards over Wilson with 179 and tops the ACC with three touchdown grabs.

Rudolph’s performance on Saturday marked the third time in his career that the junior finished with more than 100 yards receiving. It is the second time in his career that Rudolph has been named the ACC Receiver of the Week. The first came last year after Rudolph finished with 201 yards receiving and three touchdowns against Syracuse.

Rudolph and the Seminoles will take on a talented secondary led by Trumaine Washington and Josh Harvey-Clemons this week as FSU heads north to take on No. 10 Louisville.
