PITTSBURGH—Pitt's Lucas Krull has been named the John Mackey Tight End of the Week for his performance this past weekend against Western Michigan.
Krull hauled in two touchdowns against WMU (2 and 24 yards). He had three catches for 36 yards overall.
Krull leads the nation's tight ends with four touchdown receptions on the season. He has caught at least one touchdown in three consecutive contests this year, the longest streak by a Pitt tight end since Dorin Dickerson had a TD in five consecutive games during his 2009 All-America season.
Dickerson that year finished with 10 touchdowns—a Pitt season record for a tight end—and was a finalist for the John Mackey Award.
Krull (Shawnee, Ks./Mill Valley) has compiled 11 catches for 127 yards (11.5 avg.) through the opening three contests. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder is a 'super senior' for the Panthers this year.
The 2021 John Mackey Award will be presented during ESPN's live telecast of the Home Depot College Football Awards on December 9.
