JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State quarterback Zion Webb was voted the Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday.
The redshirt junior led the Gamecocks to a 38-16 win at Tennessee State on Saturday in just the second start of his career. Webb totaled 280 passing yards and a career-high three touchdowns on 21 completions against the Tigers. He also gained 18 yards on five carries as Jax State improved to 5-1 on the season and 2-0 in league play.
His first touchdown toss came on a 29-yard completion to Dave Russell III to extend JSU's lead to 15 a little over a minute before halftime. His second passing score came in the fourth quarter on a 54-yard throw to Uriah West. The pass to West is the longest pass play of the season, thus far, for the Gamecocks.
Webb earned his third passing touchdown of the contest when he found Quan Charleston from 19 yards out with less than four minutes to go in the game. The TD pushed Jacksonville State's score against TSU to 38-16.
It's the first OVC weekly honor for Webb and the second for the Gamecocks this season.
Jax State wraps up its two-game road swing Sunday when it returns to the state of Tennessee to face UT Martin (1-1, 1-1 in OVC) at Stewart Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. and will broadcast on ESPN+.
