Jones Earns ACC Linebacker of the Week
9/13/2021 1:50:00 PM | Football
Syracuse linebacker Mikel Jones has been named ACC Linebacker of the Week after his 11 tackles against Rutgers.
Jones led the 'Cuse defense with 11 stops and a career-best 2.5 tackles for loss. In total, Syracuse had 13 tackles for loss, a mark that ranks as the fourth-highest single-game total to date this season, and the most that any team has posted against a power five opponent.
Jones currently ranks ninth nationally with 11.0 tackles per game after leading the Orange in the category last season as well. He is on the Dick Butkus Award Watch List this season as one of the nation's top linebackers.
The Miami native is the second SU defensive player to earn ACC weekly honors in as many weeks, after DB Duce Chestnut was named ACC co-Rookie of the Week after the Orange's win over Ohio.
