SAN RAMON, California – Texas State football's Torrance Burgess Jr. has been named the Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week following a record-setting performance in the Bobcats' 66-27 victory over Colorado State.

Burgess Jr. rushed for career highs of 224 yards and four touchdowns on 24 carries to lead a Texas State offense that set school records with 716 total yards and 503 rushing yards (FBS program record). The Bobcats became the first FBS team to rush for at least 500 yards against another FBS opponent since 2021.

The Pearland, Texas, native was the only FBS player to rush for at least 200 yards in Week 7 and led the nation in rushing yards for the week. He became the first FBS player this season to record at least 200 rushing yards and four touchdowns in the same game, joining Robert Lowe as the only Texas State players to accomplish the feat since the program moved to the FBS in 2012.

Burgess Jr. also added a season-high 52 receiving yards on three catches to finish with 276 all-purpose yards, the most by an FBS player in a game this season. Through seven weeks, Burgess Jr. leads the FBS in rushing yards per game (139.7) and yards per carry (7.76). He ranks second nationally with 838 rushing yards and third in all-purpose yards per game (153.5). He also leads the country with six runs of at least 40 yards and five of at least 50 yards.

The four-touchdown performance marked the second-most rushing touchdowns in a game by a Texas State player in program history.

Texas State totaled eight rushing touchdowns against Colorado State, tying the program's single-game record since joining the FBS. Quarterback Brad Jackson added three rushing touchdowns, while running back Jaylen Jenkins contributed one.

Burgess Jr. becomes the first Texas State player to earn Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors and the second Bobcat to receive a weekly conference award this season. Wide receiver and return specialist Dameon Crowe was named Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week following Week 3.
