ST. LOUIS – University of Dayton redshirt senior tight end Adam Trautman was named the Pioneer Football League's Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in UD's 56-28 win over Jacksonville on Saturday.

Trautman, a co-captain from Williamsburg, Mich., caught six passes for 107 yards.  His first reception was a 17-yard touchdown from quarterback Jack Cook that gave Trautman sole possession of the Dayton career receptions record.  Trautman entered the game tied with Bill Franks for 133 receptions.  Interestingly, Saturday was UD's annual Alumni Game and Franks was in attendance.

The Flyer tight end's final catch of the day was a 34-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter that was his fourth TD of the day, giving him the Flyer single-game record for touchdown receptions.  It was also the last time he was targeted with a pass, as UD led 35-14 at halftime and threw just three passes in the second half.

For the season, Trautman has 31 receptions for 410 yards (13.2 yards per catch) and six touchdowns.  He leads the PFL in receptions per game (7.8), receiving yards per game (102.5) and touchdown catches (6).  In FCS football, he is the top-ranked tight end in all three categories.  Overall, he is ninth, sixth and sixth respectively.

His four touchdowns in the Jacksonville win give him 23 for his career, one behind the Flyer record held by Pat Hugar (1994-97).

UD has had at least one PFL Player of the Week performance in all four games this season.

Dayton is 3-1 on the season, and 1-0 in the PFL.  The Flyers travel to Valparaiso this Saturday, where they will see a familiar face on the opposite sideline.  The Crusader's new coach is Landon Fox, who spent 13 seasons on the UD coaching staff, the last 11 as the Dayton defensive coordinator.  Saturday's kickoff is at 2 p.m. ET.
