JONESBORO, Ark. (11/14/16) – Arkansas State Senior safety Money Hunter has been named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week after he became the league’s all-time leader in career interception returns for a touchdown, collecting his fourth during Arkansas State’s 41-22 victory over New Mexico State this past Saturday.
Hunter, who also recorded five tackles, a pass break-up and recovered a punt return fumble by the Aggies, picked off an NMSU pass with 10:12 left in the first quarter and scored on a 46-yard return to give the Red Wolves a 13-0 lead.
He pushed his career interception return yards total to 268, which gave him the second most in Sun Belt history and the third most ever by an A-State player.
