NEW ORLEANS – Texas State senior kicker James Sherman was named the Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week after setting school records for most field goals made and attempted in a game when he made five of his six attempts against Texas Southern.
A native of Montgomery, Ala., Sherman also tied a school record and equaled the fourth-highest point total in Sun Belt Conference history when he scored a career-high 18 points to lead Texas State to a 36-20 victory over Texas Southern.
His previous career high was two field goals made last season against Houston Baptist and Appalachian State.
