NEW ORLEANS – After setting a school game record and scoring three touchdowns to help lead the University of South Alabama football team to a win at Arkansas State Saturday, Jalen Tolbert was voted the Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Monday as announced by the league office.
It's the second time this fall that the junior wide receiver has been recognized after earning the same award on Sept. 7 following the Jaguars' defeat of Southern Miss to begin the season. Tolbert is the first individual from the program to collect multiple weekly honors from the Sun Belt in the same year since Tra Minter did so in 2018, but the first-ever to be named the conference's Offensive Player of the Week on two occasions.
