OCT 21 LONE STAR DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jai Edwards, Tarleton State, SR, Kinesiology and Business, S, Atascocita, Texas, Atascocita HS,...Edwards led the No. 4-ranked Texans on defense with 11 tackles in a 35-21 win over No. 20 Texas A&M-Commerce in a battle of LSC unbeatens. Of the 11 tackles by Edwards, seven were solo tackles in the secondary. The senior also posted a tackle for loss, but his biggest play of the game also clinched the victory. On 4th-and-9 and the Lions driving in Texan territory only down two touchdowns, Edwards' huge hit on the A&M-Commerce receiver broke up a catch and gave the ball back to the Texans with four minutes left to run out the clock and seal the win. Edwards and the Texans held A&M-Commerce to 15 points below their season average and limited the rushing offense to just 64 yards for the game. - Lone Star Conference Football

OCT 14 LONE STAR DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: B.J. Jefferson, Tarleton State, SR, Criminal Justice, DE, Houston, Texas, Eisenhower HS,...Jefferson continued to wreak havoc on the Lone Star Conference as the senior defensive end led the Tarleton defense in a 49-10 rout of Eastern New Mexico in Portales. The Greyhounds entered the game as the top-ranked rushing attack in the nation but mustered only 173 yards on the ground and 221 yards of total offense against the Texan defense.

Jefferson was at the forefront of the attack with eight tackles, including 2.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks. Jefferson also put a stamp on the game with a fumble recovery on Eastern New Mexico's second drive of the second half that led to the final score of the night from Daniel McCants. It's his fifth straight game with at least 2.0 tackles for a loss and his second straight game to create a turnover for the defense. - Lone Star Conference Football

OCT 7 LONE STAR DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: B.J. Jefferson, Tarleton State, SR, Kinesiology, DE, Acres Home, Texas, Acres Home HS,...Jefferson continued to dominate the defensive side of the ball as the senior totaled 13 tackles, including five solo stops while leading #4 Tarleton past #23 Angelo State 30-13 in a battle of the last remaining Lone Star Conference unbeatens. Jefferson's biggest play of the night came in the third quarter when he forced a strip-sack fumble that was picked up by Tank Morgan. Tarleton turned that into three points, which made it a two-possession game. Jefferson had 3.0 tackles for a loss, including 1.5 sacks, and a pass breakup to go along with his forced fumble. - Lone Star Conference Football

10/23/19 - Prince Robinson, Sr/2020, Tarleton State, 5-10, 187 (DS#43 CB) + More +

Tarleton State (Texas) broke out to a 14-0 lead over then-No. 20 Texas A&M-Commerce in the first quarter, and never looked back, winning 35-21 to take sole possession of first place in the Lone Star Conference. The Texans are 7-0 and remain No. 4 in this week's AFCA Division II Coaches' Top 25 Poll. Despite the loss, Texas A&M-Commerce drops just three spots to No. 23. The rest of the Top 5 remained unchanged again as Valdosta State (Ga.), Ferris State (Mich.), Minnesota State and Ouachita Baptist (Ark.) registered victories on Saturday to move their records to 7-0. There is only one Top 25 matchup again this coming weekend and it involves one of the newcomers to the poll. No. 25 Virginia Union, who was last ranked in the preseason poll of 2008, travels to No. 15 Bowie State (Md.) to battle for the top spot in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Northern Division. The other newcomer is No. 24 Henderson State (Ark.). The Reddies were last ranked on September 4, 2017 and sit 6-1 on the season after a 48-17 victory over East Central (Okla.). - American Football Coaches Association

SEPT 30 LONE STAR OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Zimari Manning, Tarleton State, SR, Kinesiology, WR, Long Beach, Calif., LB Wilson HS,...Manning was unstoppable for the #4 Tarleton Texans as the senior wide receiver set a new school record with 257 receiving yards on seven catches with three touchdowns in Tarleton's 49-7 rout of UT Permian Basin Saturday night.

SEPT 9 LONE STAR OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Daniel McCants, Tarleton State, SR, Kinesiology, RB, Killeen, Texas, Killeen HS,...In his debut as the lead running back in the Tarleton offense, McCants did not disappoint. The senior from Killeen took his first carry of the season 48 yards for a touchdown to spark a record-setting night for the Texan offense in a 37-26 road win at FCS Stephen F. Austin Saturday night.

McCants followed up his big run with an even bigger one later in the quarter as he broke free for a 99-yard touchdown run for his second score of the night. For the game, McCants totaled 179 yards on 11 carries, averaging 16.3 yards per trip. With his efforts on the ground, Tarleton set a new school record with 667 total yards - topping the previous record of 665 yards on Nov. 8, 2014 against Texas A&M-Commerce. McCants' 99-yard touchdown run also set a new Tarleton record for longest run, which broke Collin Strahan's five-year record of 89 yards.

09/07/19 - Steven Duncan, rSr/2023, Tarleton State, 6-4, 235 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Gaej Walker ran for a touchdown, Steven Duncan passed for another and the Western Kentucky defense made a big goal-line stand as the Hilltoppers defeated Florida International 20-14 in a Conference USA opener on Saturday. Late in the fourth quarter with WKU leading 20-14, FIU had 2nd-and-goal from the 2-yard line. WKU defensive back Dionte Ruffin hit Panthers quarterback Kaylan Wiggins in the backfield, forcing a fumble. Wiggins recovered the ball at the 16 but was attended to on the field after the play and was removed from the game. James Morgan, who had started the game, then threw incomplete on third and fourth downs. Western Kentucky took over and was able to run out the clock after gaining one first down.

Duncan threw 8 yards to Jahcour Pearson for a touchdown to open the scoring. FIU tied it later in the first quarter when Richard Dames scored on an 80-yard return after interception of a Duncan pass. Walker, who gained 100 yards on 27 carries, ran 2 yards for a touchdown and WKU led 14-7 at halftime. The Hilltoppers allowed just 14 first downs, 217 yards and one offensive touchdown, a 15-yard run by Napoleon Maxwell in the third quarter that made the score 17-14 in favor of Western Kentucky. Cory Munson added his second field goal of the game, a 44-yarder early in the fourth quarter. Duncan completed 19 of 33 passes for 241 yards with the one touchdown and two interceptions. Morgan was 3 of 11 for 25 yards; Wiggins 2 of 6 for 41 yards. - AP College Football
