BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State inside linebacker Jordan Fehr was named the Sun Belt Conference's Defensive Player of the Week based off his performance in a nationally televised win at Arkansas State.
Fehr, a junior from Charlotte, recorded a career-high 14 tackles and the first solo sack of his career in the 35-9 win on ESPN2. The fourth-quarter sack, which resulted in a 9-yard loss, was one of his seven stops on plays that gained 2 yards or less.
Fehr's previous career high of nine tackles occurred in the 2018 opener at Penn State, and he matched that total in the first half at Arkansas State.
