FUQUAY-VARINA, N.C. | Alabama A&M University wide receiver Jaylan Bean was selected on Monday the HBCU Co-Player of the Week following his four-touchdown performance in the Bulldogs' 61-31 Homecoming victory over Grambling State at Louis Crews Stadium.
 
Bean, who shared the honor with Bethune-Cookman's Jaden Davis, caught 10 passes for a career-high 240 yards, averaging 24 yards per reception, as Alabama A&M improved to 6-2 overall and 3-1 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play.
 
The junior from Dallas, Texas scored on receptions of 61, 6, 67 and 19 yards from quarterback Cornelious Brown IV. Three of his touchdown catches came during a 35-point third quarter that helped the Bulldogs pull away.
 
Bean's first touchdown, a 61-yard reception with 5:23 remaining in the second quarter, trimmed Grambling State's lead to 17-16. He added a 6-yard scoring catch early in the third quarter before striking again from 67 and 19 yards as Alabama A&M built a 47-17 advantage.
 
Behind Bean's performance, the Bulldogs erased an early 17-3 deficit with 44 unanswered points and finished with 669 yards of total offense. Brown threw for 417 yards and five touchdowns as Alabama A&M earned its fifth consecutive Homecoming victory.
 
Alabama A&M, off to its best start since 2012, has an open date before facing rival Alabama State on Oct. 31 in the 85th Magic City Classic at Legion Field in Birmingham.
