TROY, Ala. – Troy sophomore Tyler Sumpter made Sun Belt Conference history becoming just the second player in league history to earn Player of the Week honors for the third consecutive week. The Sun Belt named him the Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday after tying his own school record in Troy's win over Texas State on Saturday.
Sumpter, a native of Hoover, Ala., scored all 12 of Troy's points in the win over Texas State with four field goals. The four makes tied the Troy single-game record which Sumpter tied two weeks ago against Louisiana after Greg Whibbs set the record originally in 2007.
