NEW ORLEANS – Louisiana football’s Dalen Cambre was voted as the Sun Belt Conference’s Special Teams Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
The Lafayette, Louisiana, native came up clutch in the fourth quarter as he blocked Texas State’s lone punt of the game that was recovered by Patrick Mensah and returned to the Bobcats’ 22-yard line.
The Ragin’ Cajuns were trailing, 30-28, prior to the block, and on the ensuing possession, Louisiana scored on a Zeon Chriss 8-yard run to take a 34-30 advantage.
The honor is the first for Louisiana this season and the first of Cambre’s career.
Louisiana is back in action for Homecoming on Oct. 21 against Georgia State at 7 p.m. on ESPNU.
