Hightower Earns Big Sky Player of the Week

BIG SKY RELEASE

FARMINGTON, Utah – Senior defensive back, Lloyd Hightower, has been recognized by the conference as the ROOT SPORTS Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week.

Hightower was everywhere for the Vandals on Saturday. He scored twice on the day, including a pick-6 midway through the first quarter to give Idaho the 14-0 advantage. He wasn't tested much from there, and finished the day with two tackles.

He added another score late in the third. After a strip-sack by Leonick Tamba saw the ball bouncing around on the turf, Hightower was able to scoop it up and go the distance, 49 yards, for his second touchdown of the day.
