Satterwhite earns GSC Offensive Player of the Week honors

BIRMINGHAM – University of West Alabama quarterback Harry Satterwhite earned Gulf South Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors for his performance in the Tigers 36-32 season-opening victory over Lenoir-Rhyne last Thursday.

A senior from Mobile, Alabama, Satterwhite completed 23-of-44 passes for 256 yards and two scores. He had touchdown passes to Dominique McNealey and Tyriq Martin. McNealey’s was a 4-yard slant for the Tigers first touchdown and Martin’s was on a 47-yard streak down the sideline.

A Harlon Hill Trophy finalist in 2017, Satterwhite also orchestrated a game-winning nine-play, 66-yard drive in a minute and 37 seconds that ended with a touchdown run by Tevin Moore with just 12 seconds to play. Satterwhite and All-American tight end Qua Boyd hooked up for five yards on a fouth-and-4 on the fourth play of the drive to keep UWA’s hopes alive.

With his performance against Lenoir-Rhyne, Satterwhite has moved into fourth place on the all-time UWA passing yards list with 5,041. He is just the fifth quarterback in UWA history to pass for more than 5,000 yards.

Satterwhite and the Tigers host Miles College (0-1) Thursday at Tiger Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
