Montoursville grad Brycen Mussina earns PSAC award in football

Shippensburg University redshirt-junior quarterback Brycen Mussina was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division Football Co-Offensive Athlete of the Week after equaling a career-high with five touchdown passes in Saturday’s victory at Clarion.

Mussina, a Montoursville graduate, was 23 of 37 for 350 yards and equaled a career high with five touchdown passes before he was relieved in the fourth quarter. He did not throw an interception. SU scored points on seven of its first eight drives in the 62-33 win over the Golden Eagles.

The most notable connection for Mussina on Saturday was with redshirt-senior wide receiver Kyle Evans, who totaled career highs of seven receptions, 199 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns against his former team.

Through three games this season, Mussina has thrown for 713 yards, eight touchdowns and zero interceptions.

Mussina shares the weekly honor with Shepherd quarterback Tyson Bagent, who threw for 468 yards and four touchdowns in a 37-21 win at No. 14 IUP.

It is the first time that a Shippensburg player has been named the PSAC Eastern Division Football Offensive Athlete of the Week since Mussina was recognized during his redshirt-freshman season on Oct. 22, 2018. It is Mussina’s second career PSAC weekly award.
