Carson-Newman senior wide receiver Braxton Westfield (Simpsonville, S.C.) has picked up first team All-Region honors from the Division II Conference Commissioner’s Association (D2CCA), the organization announced Thursday afternoon.
This is Westfield’s second all-region accolade, he made the second team in 2019.
Westfield goes back-to-back as a first-team All-SAC selection. The senior NFL prospect is the only Carson-Newman football player in program history who has three consecutive 100-yard receiving days.
Westfield closed out his career with a bang, earning TSWA State Offensive Player of the Week honors. He snared five passes for 162 yards in the Eagles’ 61-23 win at Catawba in the regular season finale.
The senior tied the single-game C-N record with three receiving touchdowns in the contest. All three of his touchdown grabs came in a 27-point third quarter and 40-point second half for C-N.
They covered 33, 61 and 37 yards.
His three-score day gives him 21 for his career to match him for fourth all-time with Tank Black.
All told, Westfield snagged five passes for 162 yards and the three scores. The 162 yards are the 11th-highest single-game total in Carson-Newman history. He closes his C-N career with three straight 100-yard games.
His 886 yards receiving this season are sixth all-time and the most in the option-era. Westfeld finishes his Carson-Newman career with 1,752 yards – the seventh-most in school history and the third-most in the option era.
The senior led the league in receptions per game, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns – a sure fire sign that the underworld has cooled given an Eagle hasn’t led the league in any of those categories in the last 12 years.
Westfield’s 5.0 catches per game also registers as a school record. His 55 catches are the most in the option era and the sixth-most all-time.
