Jones Named Gus Weber Crusader Player of the Week

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Susquehanna University freshman safety Eddie Jones has been selected as the team's Gus Weber Crusader Player of the Week, sponsored by the Golden Corral Family Steak House along Routes 11 & 15 in Shamokin Dam.

Jones (Selinsgrove, PA/Selinsgrove) finished with 12 tackles and two sacks in his first career start as the Crusaders fell 32-13 at Moravian last Saturday. Both of Jones' sacks came with the Greyhounds inside the Crusader 20, and helped keep Moravian from scoring any points on either drive.

The Golden Corral will donate a check for $100 in the name of Jones to the charity of his choice during Friday's Quarterback Club luncheon at noon in the Shearer-Weber Dining Rooms in the Degenstein Campus Center on the Susquehanna campus.

Now in their eighth year of sponsorship of the Gus Weber Player of the Week award, Golden Corral has donated $6,600 to charity in the names of Susquehanna players.

The Player of the Week award is named after former Susquehanna University president Gustave Weber , who served as president of Susquehanna for more than 18 years and was a former standout player at Wagner College . He was an avid booster of Crusader athletics, and in particular the football team, which he coached for the final two games of the 1965 season.

The Crusaders (2-1 overall, 1-1 MAC) host Delaware Valley (2-0 overall, 1-0 MAC) on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Lopardo Stadium.
