Gage Steele and Conner Arnone Recognized
FOOTBALL’S STEELE EARNS NATIONAL AWARD, ARNONE CAA HONOR
Redshirt freshman linebacker Gage Steele has been named The Sports Network's National Freshman of the Week, the publication announced Monday.
Also the Colonial Athletic Association's Rookie of the Week, Steele broke open for a career day against the Great Danes, turning in an 18-tackle effort that leads the league through the opening six weeks of the season. He racked up 13 solo stops and one sack in JMU’s dominant 40-13 win, with four of his tackles ending Great Dane drives.
Sophomore punter/kicker Conner Arnone was named Special Teams Player of the Week in the CAA. He had a stellar all-around day in the Dukes’ win over UAlbany, finishing with a 49.5-yard punt average on four punts that included a career-long 65-yarder. He also averaged 60.8 yards on eight kickoffs that featured three touchbacks in a special teams effort that forced the Great Danes to on-average begin drives from their 27-yard line.
