KINGSTON, R.I. – Senior wide receiver Shawn Leonard was selected as the CAA Football Co-Offensive Player of the Week on Monday following his receiving effort in Rhode Island’s 55-42 shootout-loss at No. 8 New Hampshire this past Saturday.

The Stoughton, Mass., native received the weekly honor for the first time in his career after he hauled in 10 catches for 275 yards and three touchdowns, all of which are career-high totals for a single game.

His second touchdown of the afternoon was a 72-yard reception, which is the Rams’ longest offensive play from scrimmage this season.

Leonard’s 275 receiving yards rank as the third-best single-game total in school history and are the fifth-highest receiving total in CAA Football history. He has now garnered 411 receiving yards (19 catches) and five touchdowns in his last three games.

URI returns to action next week as it heads North to take on Maine. Kickoff is set for Noon.
