Tyrese White and
Anthony Smith are on his heels with three apiece.
- Linebacker
Hunter Kier continues to be one of the most consistent tacklers in the Western Athletic Conference, racking up another nine last weekend to maintain his team lead in that category.
Tarleton (5-4, 2-2 WAC)
- The Texans have won three of their last four games entering play this week, including last Saturday's 42-21 defeat of Lamar. Tarleton has gone 4-1 in Stephenville this year but has struggled to a 1-3 record away from home.
- Last weekend, quarterback Steven Duncan tossed for more than 300 yards for the second consecutive game, and he has thrown 11 touchdowns with just one interception over his last four games.
- Ryheem Skinner, Braelon Bridges and Derrel Kelley III each provided a rushing score for Texans against Lamar, as the multi-back Tarleton offense continues to spread the wealth while averaging 168 yards per game on the ground.
