Cox Named I-AA Independent Player of the Week

Southern Utah’s Tremaine Cox has been named this week’s I-AA Independent Special Teams Player of the week while Mike Overly earned honor roll recognition for his defensive effort in SUU’s 24-23 loss last Saturday at Nevada.

Cox, a junior running back/kick returner from Tucson, Ariz., returned two kickoffs for 108 yards against the Wolfpack, including one 91-yarder for a touchdown. The score gave the Thunderbirds a huge spark following a Nevada touchdown which gave the ‘Pack a 14-3 edge. Cox’s TD cut the deficit to four and set the stage for SUU to claim a 17-14 lead just two minutes later on a Casey Rehrer-to-Michael Culpepper pass play.

Overly, a junior linebacker from Boise, Idaho, tallied eight tackles, seven solo, with a two-yard tackle-for-loss and a forced fumble.

“We’re very proud and happy to have Tremaine and Mike earn these honors,” SUU Coach Gary Andersen said. “Tremaine’s return was a big-time play and it came at a critical point in the game. He also played well carrying the ball for us Saturday. Mike has been a huge contributor all through camp and he did it again Saturday night. It’s nice to see the guys get some recognition.”
