Manhasset, N.Y. – Chase Coffman of Missouri was named John Mackey Tight End of the Week by the Nassau County Sports Commission. The Big 12 conference senior recorded 10 receptions for 84 yards and one touchdown as Missouri beat Buffalo 42-21. Other candidates considered for this week's Tight End of the Week include Devin Frischknecht of Washington State and Branden Ledbetter of Western Michigan.
The John Mackey Tight End of the Week is an honor distinct and different from the annual John Mackey Award. This weekly honor was started in 2004 to draw attention to individual play by Tight Ends during the active season. The Tight End of the Week acknowledgment does not have a direct bearing on the final John Mackey Award selection process.
The Nassau County Sports Commission, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization created to enhance quality of life of Nassau County residents through sports, is responsible for the administration of the John Mackey Award and the John Mackey Award Selection Committee. The 2008 recipient of “The Mackey” will be announced at the Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show live on ESPN and presented at the Nassau County Sports Commission Annual Awards Dinner on April 27, 2009.
