Cato turned-in a breakout performance in his first career game, having a hand in six of the Panthers' seven touchdowns in Saturday's 54-12 victory at Stetson.  The Alachua, Fla. native was 7-for-15 through the air for 191 yards and four touchdowns and posted an efficiency rating of 228.3.  Cato did not stop there, ranking second on the team in rushing, compiling 63 yards on 19 carries with two TDs.  His first pass attempt resulted in a 69-yard touchdown that set the school-record for the longest scoring pass in a game.  Cato became FIT's first-ever GSC Offensive winner since joining the league in 2013.  Cato's performance also earned him his second weekly honor by nabbing the league's first-ever Freshman of the Week laurel.
