JONESBORO, Ark. (10/10/2011) — Following their performances in ASU's 24-14 Sun Belt Conference victory Saturday at Louisiana-Monroe, Arkansas State senior safety Kelcie McCray and junior defensive back Don Jones have earned Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week honors.

McCray (Columbus, Ga.) earned Defensive Player of the Week honors, while Jones (Town Creek, Ala.) was named the Special Teams Player of the Week.

McCray recorded two interceptions against ULM to help the Red Wolves improve to 2-0 in SBC play with the win over the Warhawks.  His two interceptions were a career high and tied for the second-most in the nation this season.  He returned his second pickoff 51 yards to set up what proved to be the winning touchdown.  He also had a pass breakup in the game, a tackle-for-loss and six tackles.  Saturday was the fourth time this season he has posted five or more tackles in a game, and he is second overall on the team with 38 stops on the year.

With ASU trailing late in the third quarter, Jones sparked ASU to its second-half rally when he blocked a Warhawk punt and returned it 25 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.  Jones' block and touchdown erased a three-point deficit for the Red Wolves and gave ASU a 17-13 lead that it would not relinquish.   Jones also recorded a career-high six tackles on defense which included one tackle-for-loss.

The Red Wolves will return to action when they will host Florida International in a nationally-televised Sun Belt Conference clash set for Oct. 18.  Kickoff for the Tuesday night ESPN2 telecast is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.  Tickets for ASU's four remaining home games are on sale and can be ordered by contacting the ASU Box Office at 870-972-ASU1 or 1-888-ASU-FANS, or by visiting AStateRedWolves.com.
