Miami freshman wide receiver Malachi Toney has been named the ACC Wide Receiver of the Week following his performance in the Hurricanes’ 38-7 victory over No. 22 Pittsburgh. Toney recorded 149 all-purpose yards and scored two touchdowns during the game.
He caught 13 passes for a total of 126 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown late in the second quarter. In addition to his receiving efforts, Toney contributed 23 rushing yards and threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to tight end Elija Lofton in the first quarter. This marked his second scoring pass of the season.
Earlier this month, Toney was recognized as ACC Rookie of the Week after Miami’s win against NC State on November 15. In that game, he had five receptions for 52 yards and two touchdowns, helping lead Miami to a 41-7 win over the Wolfpack.
