ST LOUIS, MO. – Senior wide receiver Keith Pearson has been named the Pioneer Football League's offensive player of the week as announced by the league on Sunday. Pearson set a DI school record with 15 catches while totaling a career-high 173 yards receiving in his final game for the Blue Hose in a 28-24 comeback win on Saturday over Drake. 

Pearson's 15 catches on Saturday were tied for the most by any FCS receiver this season while his 173 yards were the 12th most in the FCS. Both the catches and yards are the most in a game involving a PFL team this spring. 

He recorded seven receptions that resulted in a first down on Saturday, while three of his 15 grabs went for 20+ yards which included a 31-yarder on PC game-winning drive. 

Pearson finished the spring with 65 catches for 831 yards and five touchdowns. The 65 catches and 831 yards receiving both rank second in the Blue Hose single-season DI record book as Pearson holds the catch record with 71 grabs during the 2019 season. 

He finished the spring with 9.29 catches per game which rank third in all of FCS this spring. Pearson finished second in the FCS ranks this spring with 118.7 receiving yards per game and third with his 831 yards receiving.
