Jalen Jelks had one of the best defensive games by a Duck in years against Arizona State. The redshirt junior had nine tackles, five tackles for a loss and three sacks against the Sun Devils. That’s production the Ducks just haven’t seen since the DeForest Buckner days and Jelks’ phone lit up after the game letting him know so.
“I didn’t even notice I was playing like that until after the game,” he said. “I picked up my phone and realized I was doing all that. So I was like, ‘Wow.’”
Now, the question is, can he keep it up?
