JONESBORO, Ark. (9/15/20) – Arkansas State senior wide receiver Jonathan Adams Jr. was named the Maxwell Award Player of the Week, the Maxwell Football Club announced on Tuesday.
Adams caught eight passes for 98 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winning score with 38 seconds remaining, in a 35-31 win at Kansas State. The first two of his three touchdown catches covered two and five yards, respectively, while his game winner came from 17 yards. Adams also had a key block in the third quarter that helped Lincoln Pare break a 58-yard rush.
With Adams' effort, Arkansas State earned its first victory over a Power 5 conference foe since defeating Texas A&M 18-14 in College Station in 2008.
