PHILADELPHIA – After another career-defining performance in the University of Pennsylvania football team's 28-9 victory over Marist on Friday, senior wide receiver Jared Richardson was named FCS National Offensive Player of the Week, Stats Perform announced on Monday morning.
 
Richardson hauled in 15 catches for 190 yards and two touchdowns as the Quakers improved to 3-1 following their win over the Red Foxes. Seven of the receptions went for first downs, including a long of 43 yards. His first TD was a go-ahead, 21-yard score in the first quarter and added a second in the fourth.
 
He finished one yard shy of his career high for receiving yards (191 at Yale in 2023) and tallied his third 100+ yard game of the year and seventh of his career. It was the 10th time in program history a Penn pass-catcher registered 190-or-more yards in a single game and the fifth time a wideout had 15-or-more catches.
 
Now just 58 yards away from becoming the sixth player in Penn history to reach 2,000 career receiving yards, Richardson also became the just the fifth player in program history to reach the 20-touchdown milestone.
 
This is the third consecutive season Penn has had an FCS National Player of the Week, joining Malachi Hosley (Rookie) in 2023 and Liam O'Brien (offensive) in 2024.
 
It's all Ivy League play the rest of the week for Penn, beginning a two-game road trip with a matchup at defending champion Columbia on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The Quakers are 1-0 in conference play after a 36-24 victory over Dartmouth on Oct. 4.
