Byerley Named GAC Defensive Player of the Week

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – Henderson State linebacker Jackson Byerley was named the GAC Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference on Monday.

Byerley, a sophomore from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, returned a first-quarter interception 42 yards for a touchdown in Saturday's win at East Central. The pick-six, the first by a Reddie this season, gave Henderson a lead it would not relinquish. Byerley also recorded seven tackles, including a tackle for loss, and also recorded a pass break-up. The Reddies took down the Tigers this past Saturday in Ada, 34-27.

The Reddies now look to this weekend's matchup, the 99th Battle of the Ravine. HSU will take on Ouachita Baptist on Saturday, November 14th at 1:00 p.m.
