JONESBORO, Ark. (11/26/18) – Arkansas State senior Justin McInnis has been named the Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week after helping the Red Wolves close out the regular season in a 33-7 win over Texas State.
McInnis helped swing the momentum into A-State’s favor in the second half when he recorded a punt block and returned it 17 yards for a touchdown to give the Red Wolves a two-possession lead during the third quarter. The play marked A-State’s first blocked punt return for a touchdown since its 2016 victory over UCF in the Cure Bowl.
