MONTGOMERY – Sophomore linebacker Kourtney Berry has been named The Sporting News FCS Co-Defensive Player of the Week.
The Merrillville, Ind., native had a career-high 18 tackles (12 solo) in ASU’s upset win at Grambling State. Berry’s career game didn’t start and stop with just tackles, as he forced a fumble and recovered two. One of his fumbles resulted in a Hornet touchdown.
For the second consecutive season Berry has recorded over 100 tackles. After recording 105 during his first year as a Hornet, he has already surpassed that amount with 119 this season, with one game left.
It is Berry’s second honor of the week as he was named the SWAC’s Defensive Player of the Week as well.
