NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University football players Duece Watts and Nick Anderson were both named to the American Athletic Conference Weekly honor roll following their performances in the Green Wave’s 38-3 win over Temple on Saturday.
Watts earned the recognition after he posted career highs in receptions (five), receiving yards (114) and touchdowns (two). Watts also hauled in a career-long reception of 52 yards. The Richton, Mississippi, native leads the Green Wave with 306 yards receiving, while his 20.4 yards per catch average ranks second in The American and 17th nationally.
Anderson received the weekly honor after he played a key role in helping the Green Wave hold a league opponent without a touchdown for the first time since 2014. The Vicksburg, Mississippi, native finished the game with a career-high 14 tackles (11 solo). His 2.5 tackles for loss were also a career-high.
Anderson and Watts become the fifth and sixth Green Wave players to be recognized by The American this season.
