Student-Athlete of the Week
Week of Nov. 23 - Nov. 29
Junior quarterback G.J. Kinne (Football) has maintained a 3.37 grade-point average in exercise sports science. The Mesquite, Texas, native threw for a career-high 406 yards and accounted for six touchdowns in Tulsa's 56-50 victory over Southern Miss in the regular-season finale this past weekend. Kinne is a huge reason why TU has been able to finish the season on a six-game win streak. He threw for four touchdowns and rushed for two more, including the game-clinching three-yard rush late in the fourth quarter.
