Redshirt freshman Kenenth Batiste was rewarded for his strong effort on the field against

Nevada on Aug. 30 with the SWAC’s Newcomer of the Week honor.

A native of
Lafayette,
La., Batiste caught six passes for 95 yards and one touchdown in the Tigers’ season-opening loss at

Nevada. Batiste led all players in receiving yards and had Grambling’s longest play, a 59-yard reception in the third quarter.
