Utah State cornerback Jalen Davis returns an interception for a touchdown against BYU in the first half last Friday. Davis had two pick-sixes in the Aggies' 40-24 victory over the Cougars.

Utah State cornerback Jalen Davis, along with Texas safety DeShon Elliott, have been named the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Players of the Week, it was announced Wednesday morning by the organization.

This is the fifth award Davis has collected after helping lead the Aggies to a come-from-behind 40-24 victory over in-state rival BYU last Friday night on Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium.
