ATLANTA- Senior Tra Barnett is this week's GSU Student-Athlete of the Week. Barnett rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown to lead Georgia State to victory over South Alabama.
The Georgia native recorded his seventh 100-yard game of the season and became the first player in GSU history to top 2,000 career rushing yards, now with 2,039.
With quarterback Dan Ellington limited by a knee injury, Barnett carried the rushing load to give the Panthers their seventh win, marking the first time in the program's 10-year history that Georgia State has reached seven victories during the regular season.
