Selected
Gus Weber Crusader Player of the Week
SELINSGROVE , PA – Susquehanna University junior free safety Eddie Jones has been selected to the D3football.com Team of the Week for his performance in the Crusaders' 17-10 upset of 23rd-ranked Delaware Valley last Saturday.
In addition, Jones has been selected as the winner of the team's Gus Weber Crusader Player of the Week, sponsored by the Family Buffet and Steak House along Routes 11 & 15 in Shamokin Dam.
Jones (Selinsgrove, PA/Selinsgrove) became the first Crusader since Jeremy Zeisloft in 1996 to intercept three passes in a game. He picked off two passes in the second quarter, the second setting up Susquehanna's first touchdown, then added a third pick late in the fourth quarter to clinch the victory. In all, the Crusader defense held Delaware Valley 's offense to 238 yards and forced five turnovers.
The Family Buffet and Steak House 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 Apple Community Room in the James W. Garrett Sports Complex.
Now in their 10th year of sponsorship of the Gus Weber Player of the Week award, the Family Buffet and Steak House has donated $8,600 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 (2-5 overall, 2-4 MAC) host FDU-Florham on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Lopardo Stadium.
