GREEN BAY, Wisc. – Former Lamar University standout and Beaumont native, Reggie Begelton, has been added to the Green Bay Packers active roster for tonight's Monday Night Football contest against the Atlanta Falcons. The game is slated to kick off at 8 p.m. CDT from Lambeau Field.
 
A four-year standout, and the school's all-time leading receiver, Begelton was signed by the Packers in January after a standout career in the Canadian Football League. Begelton was moved to the Packers practice squad in September.
 
Begelton spent three seasons with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. During his short time with the CFL, he became one of the top wideouts in the league. In 2019, Begelton hauled in 102 passes for 1,444 yards and 10 touchdowns. Begelton was second in the league in receptions and third in receiving yards and touchdowns.
 
This coming on the heels of a 2018 campaign that saw Calgary lock up its eighth Grey Cup title, while making their 17^th appearance in the championship game.
 
During his four years on campus, Begelton only became the best receiving threat in program history. A three-team All-Southland Conference selection, Begelton wrapped up his career by earning first-team honors as a senior. He set school records for receptions in a game (18), season (82) and career (227). He also set the school's all-time record for receiving yards with 2,435. He just missed the school's all-time record for touchdown catches by one (20). He also finished 11^th in program history with 114 career points.
 
His numbers didn't just rewrite the school record books, but he left his mark on the Southland records as well. He graduated from LU as the second all-time leading receiver in Southland Conference history.
 
For his career, Begelton played in 46 games earning 39 starts. He averaged nearly 60 receiving yards per game and better than 10 yards per reception during his four years.
