A-State's Jackson, Grupe Earn SBC Player Of The Week Nods

Senior defensive back Darreon Jackson recorded a career-high 17 tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss against the Warhawks en route to capturing Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week honors.

The Derby, Kan., native put up the third-most tackles in a game this season by a Sun Belt Conference player, while they were also the most by an A-State player since linebacker Nathan Herrold had 17 against South Alabama in 2012. He topped his previous career high of 15 tackles set just two games ago against Louisiana and now has 40 total stops over his last three outings.
