Award administrators for the John Mackey Award announced that Clemson tight end Jake Briningstool has been named as the John Mackey Tight End of the Week for his performance against Miami (Fla.) last Saturday.
Briningstool recorded a career-high 126 yards on five receptions with two touchdowns in the contest. His 126 yards broke Clemson’s school record for single-game receiving yards by a tight end, surpassing Jordan Leggett’s 122 yards against Florida State in 2016.
The game was Briningstool’s first multi-touchdown game of his career. In the process, he became the third Clemson player to score two receiving touchdowns in a game this season, joining Tyler Brown and Antonio Williams. In addition to his two scoring hauls, Briningstool also recorded a career-long 50-yard reception in the third quarter.
