ATLANTA- Millsaps Majors' running back Mike Barthelemy has been named the Southern Athletic Association Player of the Week for his efforts in the win over Birmingham Southern.
The junior ran for 264 yards and all four of Millsaps' scores in the 28-14 victory. Barthelemy averaged over nine yards a carry, had a long of 72 yards and had seven different runs of over 10 yards.
The tailback has already eclipsed his rushing total from last year and currently sits at 899 yards on the season and 12 rushing touchdowns.
His effort, in part, has led the Majors to a 6-0 start and recently cracked the top-25, reaching #24 in the latest AFCA poll. The Majors are second in the "receiving votes" category of the D3football poll, effectively placing them 27th in the nation.
Barthelemy and the Majors head to Sewanee on Saturday to take on the Tigers. Kickoff is set for 130 central time.
