IRVING, Texas (October 26) – Army West Point football junior kicker Dawson Jones has been named American Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday.
It's the second time in three weeks the Waxhaw, N.C. native has garnered the honor.
In Army's come-from-behind win at Tulsa, Jones connected on field goals from 51 and 50 yards, with the latter coming with no time remaining to give the Black Knights a 38-25 win. The kicks were tied for the seventh and 10th-longest in program history, and represented the first time in program history a kicker made multiple field goals of at least 50 yards.
Jones is 7-for-9 on field goal attempts this season. In Week 6 vs. Tulane, Jones hit a 25-yard kick to knock off Tulane 20-17 at Michie Stadium Preserved by USAA.
Army improved to 5-2 overall and 4-1 in the conference with the win over Tulsa.
