INDIANAPOLIS – Quincy University redshirt freshman running back Chris Harris and redshirt sophomore kicker Blake Allison, along with William Jewell College senior linebacker Eric Jackson, have been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Players of the Week, it was announced by the league office Monday. 

Harris was tabbed GLVC Offensive Player of the Week, Jackson was picked Defensive Player of the Week, while Allison was named Special Teams Player of the Week.

Jackson, a native of DeSoto, Texas, helped lead the defense with 11 tackles and two sacks in the Cardinals’ 21-17 road win at Truman State on Saturday.  The defensive output tied teammate Jimmy DeStefano for the game-high, while his pair of sacks also was a team high.  Jackson had five solo hits and six assisted stops in the win.  This is the first weekly honor for Jackson and the first for a Jewell defender since DeStefano was honored on Sept. 16, 2013.  This is the second straight week a Cardinal has been recognized as Thomas Cook, Jr., earned GLVC Offensive Player of the Week accolades last week.
