Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett added another award to his haul for the week when he was named as the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week on Tuesday.

Barrett received the award, which honors the nation's best offensive player with a Texas connection each week, for his performance in Ohio State's 56-14 win against Nebraska. Barrett completed 27 of 33 passes for 325 yards and five touchdowns and also ran for 48 yards and two touchdowns against the Cornhuskers.

The senior quarterback from Wichita Falls, Texas, is the second Buckeye to win the award this year, joining La Grange, Texas native J.K. Dobbins, who won the award for his performance in Ohio State's season opener against Indiana.

The award is just one of many recognitions received this week by Barrett, who was also named as the Davey O'Brien Award National Quarterback of the Week, as the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, as the Manning Award's Star of the Week and as the Rose Bowl's Big Ten Player of the Week.
