Jacob Wilson Collects Second D3Football.com Team of the Week Honor
Freshman DB Jacob Wilson (Shreveport, La.) was named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week for week seven of the 2024 season.
SUWANEE, Ga. - Freshman DB Jacob Wilson (Shreveport, La.) was named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week for week seven of the 2024 season.
Wilson came up with a game-defining play on Saturday for the Gents in their thrilling 28-21 comeback win at Lyon as he intercepted a Scots' pass and returned it 24 yards with the game tied at 21-21 and only 53 seconds remaining. The Gents took over at their own 35-yard line and moved 34 yards in five plays and scored on a TD pass with 15 seconds left to win. Wilson added four total tackles and two pass breakups.
Earlier this week, Wilson was also named SCAC Defensive Player of the Week.
The Team of the Week is D3football.com's weekly honor roll, in its 26th season of recognizing the top performance at each position from the previous week. Players are selected from nominations from their school's sports information directors.
Wilson, who earned national recognition landing on the team in the inaugural week of the season back in September, is the first SCAC football athlete to appear on multiple national team of the week squads in the same season since Austin College's Kyle Crawford in 2014. His selection marks the third consecutive week and 10th total national honor for an SCAC athlete this year, the most for the conference since the league landed 12 in 2014.
