Rapper Pitbull is known as Mr. 305, but FIU freshman outside linebacker Rocky Jacques-Louis has his own cool nickname.
“My teammates,” Jacques-Louis said, “have been calling me ‘Mr. Pick Six.’”
Mr. P-6 earned his moniker by returning two interceptions for touchdowns over the past two months, running 59 yards against Massachusetts on Sept. 15 and 32 yards this past Saturday at Texas-San Antonio.
Jacques-Louis will go for more big plays on Saturday when FIU (7-3, 5-1), which leads Conference USA’s East Division, visits Charlotte (4-6, 3-3). Even so, FIU defensive coordinator Brent Guy did his best to keep Jacques-Louis grounded this week.
