SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Weber State quarterback Bronson Barron was named Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week after their win over Idaho State on Saturday.

In his first collegiate start, Barron completed 17 of his 27 pass attempts for 312 yards and four touchdowns. He threw two TD’s to Rashid Shaheed, while connecting with Josh Davis and David Ames once.

Barron ran the ball five times for 42 yards as the Wildcats racked up 638 yards of total offense in their season opening win.

Weber State improved their record to 1-0 on the season. They were scheduled to face Cal Poly this week but the game was moved to April 17, leaving Weber State with a bye this week.
