Week 10 -

Jeff Heuerman of Ohio State was named John Mackey Tight End of the Week. The Big Ten Conference junior recorded five receptions for 116 yards and a career long 40 yard touchdown as Ohio State routed Purdue 56-0. Heuerman's five receptions tie his single game career high and his total receiving yards established a new single game career high. In fact, his 116 receiving yards are the most by an Ohio State Tight End since Ricky Dudley recorded 104 receiving yards in the 1996 Citrus Bowl. Honorable mentions for this week's John Mackey Tight End of the Week include Eric Ebron of North Carolina, Jacob Pedersen of Wisconsin and Maxx Williams of Minnesota. 

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.
