Weekly OVC honor for SEMO & UT Martin player

As the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks football team rolls into unfamiliar territory (undefeated in the OVC and ranked in the top 15) they continue to rack up weekly player of the week honors.

Defensive player of the week goes to senior linebacker Joshua Jackson. The Texas native had seven tackles, a sack and forced a fumbled. Jackson helped the Redhawks defense hold UT Martin to just 58-total yards and no points in the first half.

Jackson is the third different Redhawk player to earn OVC defensive player of the week honors this season.

Specialist of the week goes to UT Martin punter Jason Hook who punted five times for an average of 45.8 yards a kick in Saturdays loss to SEMO.
