South Dakota State’s Christian Rozeboom and Jaxon Janke are among the Missouri Valley Football Conference’s players of the week for their performances in the Jackrabbits’ 38-3 victory over Long Island University on Sept. 7.
A senior linebacker from Sioux Center, Iowa, Rozeboom recorded a team-high eight tackles, forced a fumble and intercepted a pass in earning Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Janke, a redshirt freshman from Madison, received Special Teams Player of the Week recognition. He swung the momentum firmly in South Dakota State’s favor by returning a punt 77 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter to start a streak of 31 unanswered points.
