JONESBORO, Ark. (10/17/16) – Arkansas State senior cornerback Chris Humes has been named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week after he forced and recovered a fumble that he returned 60 yards for a touchdown in A-State’s 17-7 victory over South Alabama this past Saturday.
Humes, who also recorded four tackles and 0.5 TFL, posted the Red Wolves’ first defensive score this season with 12:50 left in the second quarter to put the Arkansas State on top 7-0. The fumble return tied the fourth longest in school history, and it also marked the first time an A-State player found the end zone on a fumble return since Nov.
