SAN MARCOS, Texas – Following a 12-tackle, two-forced-fumble performance in Texas State's come-from-behind win, linebacker Brian Holloway was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week for week four, the conference office announced on Monday.
Holloway, a redshirt senior, had the game-high 12 tackles to lead a Texas State defense that held Nevada to only a late touchdown in the second half as the Bobcats rallied from a 17-0 halftime deficit to win 35-24. Holloway had seven solo tackles and two TFLs among his dozen stops.
The Clear Lake, Texas product forced a fumble late in the third quarter that led to the Bobcats taking a 21-17 lead on the subsequent drive.
