Screen Shot 2016-08-24 at 9.30.33 AM Congratulations to CJ Conrad, who was named the John Mackey Tight End of the Week after a career performance vs. New Mexico State. Conrad had five catches for 133 yards and three touchdowns vs. the Aggies, the first 100-yard game of his career. Conrad is the first UK tight end with three touchdowns in a game since first-team All-American James Whalen in 1999, and his 133 receiving yards are the third-most by a tight end in a game in school history. He's also the only UK player to have at least 133 receiving yards and three touchdowns in Commonwealth Stadium history. Let's relive each of his three touchdowns courtesy of Scott Charlton:
