The week before (Nov. 1) he had five tackles (all solo) in ACU’s loss to Northwestern State.

2012 (Redshirt freshman): Started the season at running back, rushing for 112 yards and three touchdowns on 35 carries in five of ACU’s first six games of the season. In the season-opening win over McMurry, Tarver had 37 yards and two touchdown runs on just nine carries.
