TicketSmarter WAC Football Players Of The Week Announced
DENVER – Abilene Christian's Jermiah Dobbins, Tarleton’s Donovan Banks and Stephen F. Austin’s Chris Campos have been named the TicketSmarter Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Football Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week, for the game week ending on Saturday, Oct. 8.
Dobbins, a sophomore running back, won conference offensive player of the week honors for the second straight week after turning in a strong performance in a hard-luck 41-38 loss at No. 22 SFA on Oct. 8. Dobbins rumbled for 166 yards on 31 rushing attempts, an average of 5.4 yards per carry, and tallied touchdowns of 46, 1 and 3 yards in the game. Dobbins’ 166 yards and three touchdowns both marked the top conference performances in a single game this season.
Banks, a senior defensive back, made three tackles that included a tackle for a loss in a 42-40 win for Tarleton at Southern Utah on Oct. 8. Banks’ biggest play of the contest occurred with 4:07 left in the fourth quarter, as he gathered in his third career interception and took it back 41 yards for a touchdown to give the Texans a 42-27 advantage that cemented the victory.
Campos, a sophomore kicker, continued a solid season for SFA during the thrilling three-point win at home against Abilene Christian. Campos made all five of his PAT attempts and both of his field goals, connecting from 22 yards in the second quarter before nailing a 51-yard attempt as time expired for the walk-off win. Campos has made 10-of-11 field goal attempts (90.9 percent) and all 26 of his PATs thus far in 2022.
