Duke wideout Eli Pancol earned ACC Receiver of the Week honors on Monday after his three-touchdown game against Virginia Tech in Week 13.
The fifth-year receiver caught an 86-yard touchdown on the Blue Devils’ first offensive play of the game, and he followed that up with a 77-yard catch-and-run on the fourth offensive play to build a 14-0 lead.
Pancol caught his third touchdown with 5:41 left in the opening half, and he finished Saturday’s game with 188 yards on five receptions. Only 12 Blue Devils have ever accumulated more receiving yards in a single game.
Week 13 was Pancol’s second 100-yard game of the season. He finished with 138 yards and a score against SMU in Week 9, and his nine receiving touchdowns this season are tied for the third-most among ACC wideouts.
Entering the 2024 campaign, his previous single-game best was 106 yards against Northwestern in 2022. He now leads the roster in receptions (51) and receiving yards (721)
