Week 9 ACC Football Players of the Week Announced
GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference Football Players of the Week have been recognized following their standout performances in last weekend’s games.
RUNNING BACK – Sean Tucker, Syracuse, Fr., RB, Owings Mills, Md.
Ran for a career-high 207 yards on 26 carries and one touchdown in Syracuse’s 21-6 win over Boston College • Rushing yardage was the ninth-most in a single game in program history and most since 2012 • With Syracuse trailing 6-0 in the third quarter, Tucker sprang a 51-yard touchdown run to ignite the Orange offense and deliver a second-straight victory • It marked his seventh-straight game with more than 100 yards on the ground • He now has 1,267 yards on the season, which leads the nation and stands as the third-highest single-season total in Syracuse history.
SPECIALIST – Courtney Jackson, Syracuse, Fr., KR, Monroeville, Pa.
Filling in for an injured Trebor Pena, Jackson took over as the Orange’s primary return man for the first time in his career and took a 64-yard punt return back for a touchdown in Syracuse’s 21-6 win over Boston College • The score came on just the third punt return of Jackson’s career and was the first punt--return touchdown for Syracuse since 2018.
