Utah State senior cornerback Jalen Davis has been named the CBSSports.com National Player of the Week, it was announced on Sunday, following his performance in Utah State’s 40-24 home win against BYU last weekend.
Against the Cougars, Davis intercepted a career-high three passes and returned two of them for touchdowns from 30 and 50 yards, respectively. Davis also had a season-high five tackles to go along with one pass breakup in the game.
Davis was also named the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on Sunday.
Those three interceptions for Davis are tied with New Mexico State’s Shamad Lomax for the most in a game at the Football Bowl Subdivision level this year and tied for a Mountain West record as it is the 11th time in conference history a player has had three picks in a game.
