BOONE, N.C. — App State cornerback Ethan Johnson has been named the Sun Belt Conference's Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in an overtime win against James Madison, and quarterback Joey Aguilar has earned national recognition following the victory.
Johnson recorded his first career interception to end a JMU drive into App State territory late in a low-scoring first half, and he was also defending the primary receiving target on three straight overtime incompletions inside the 10-yard line to force the Dukes to settle for a short field goal.
