DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
 
William Bradley-King, Arkansas State (So., DE, Kansas City, Mo.)
William Bradley-King recorded his second career forced fumble while setting new career highs with nine tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks during Arkansas State’s 27-20 victory over UNLV.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
 
Steven Jones, Appalachian State (Fr., DB, Rockingham, N.C.)
Steven Jones, a redshirt freshman cornerback, tied a school record with two blocked punts, one of which he recovered himself for a first-quarter touchdown in the Mountaineers’ 72-7 win over Gardner-Webb. His second-quarter punt block led to a 9-yard Darrynton Evans touchdown run on the next play. Just over a minute later, Jones also provided an early block that helped spring Clifton Duck to a 62-yard punt return for another score. App State has now scored a nation-high four special teams touchdowns this season.
