EUGENE -- Johnny Mundt's whirlwind week continues.

After his 121-yard, two-touchdown performance on five catches against Tennessee, the Oregon true freshman tight end earned Wednesday the John Mackey

for the nation's top performance. The same organization that delivers the weekly award gives the John Mackey Award at the end of each season to the nation's top tight end.

Other tight ends in consideration this week were Crockett Gillmore of Colorado State, Gator Hoskins of Marshall and Tyreese Russell of Eastern Michigan.

Mundt's game was the first 100-yard performance by an Oregon tight end since David Paulson in 2011, and the most yards since Ed Dickson in 2009.

The award follows UO quarterback Marcus Mariota's NCAA honor.

the redshirt sophomore was named the NCAA's offensive player of the week after his career-high 456 yards passing against Tennessee.
