Georgia State football's Penny Hart is this week’s GSU Student-Athlete of the Week presented by Georgia Power.
Hart, a true freshman, caught 11 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns to help Georgia State to its first Sun Belt Conference victory, 34-32 at New Mexico State on Saturday.
Hart's 11 catches tied the GSU single-game record, while his 150 yards is the seventh-best total in school history and the most by a freshman. His receiving effort helped the Panthers amass a school-record 582 yards of total offense.
Hart caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nick Arbuckle in the first quarter, and then his 24-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter capped a 97-yard drive to put the Panthers ahead 34-19.
Hart also had a tackle on punt coverage.
Through two games, he has 12 catches for 203 yards and a Sun Belt-leading three touchdown receptions.
