ITHACA, N.Y. -- For the third time this season, Cornell senior wide receiver Bryan Walters has been named Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week. Walters continued to add onto his Ivy League kickoff and punt return yardage records on Senior Day for the Big Red, getting the home team back in the game before falling 30-20 to Columbia. Walters was previously named Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week on Oct. 5 and 19, while Drew Alston was given the honor on Oct. 26. In all, Cornell football players have earned six weekly honors.

Walters continued to pile on to his all-time Cornell and Ivy League marks, collecting 260 more all-purpose yards against Columbia. The senior was in the spotlight, catching a game-high six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns. He also posted 122 kickoff return yards and 49 punt return yards in the contest. His touchdown catches of 12 and 32 yards helped the Big Red rally from a 13-point deficit in the first minute of the game to take the lead. By the end of the day, Walters had moved into fourth on Cornell's career receptions chart (142 catches) and surpassed 2,000 receiving yards (2,004), becoming the fourth Big Red player to hit that mark. He also increased his all-purpose yardage total to 5,689 (second all-time in Ivy League history) and increased his Ivy record kickoff (2,715) and punt return yardage (970) totals.

Walters will conclude his career and the Big Red will end its season when it faces 2009 Ivy League champion Penn on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 1 p.m. at Franklin Field.
