JONESBORO, Ark. (10/11/20) – The Walter Camp Football Foundation announced Sunday that Arkansas State senior linebacker Justin Rice has been named its national Defensive Player of the Week after recording 12 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks during the Red Wolves' 50-27 victory over Central Arkansas.
Rice, who posted career-best totals for both tackles for loss and sacks, is the first A-State player to ever be named a Walter Camp national player of the week. Not only were his 3.0 sacks the most by a Sun Belt Conference player this season, they tied the seventh most in Arkansas State history for a single game.
