Austin Peay State University Athletics

Clarksville, Tenn. – Sophomore defensive end Jaison Williams, of the Austin Peay State University football team, has been named the Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week.

Continuing a season-long foray into opposing backfields, Williams notched 2.5 sacks in the Governors upset of nationally-ranked UT Martin, Saturday. He finished the contest with six tackles, including a strip-sack of Skyhawk quarterback Troy Cook in the fourth quarter to stall a UT Martin drive that had moved into Austin Peay territory.

The Trussville, Alabama native earned adidas® Ohio Valley Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors for his work—his first as a Gov and the first by an Austin Peay defensive player since Antwaun Majors won for the week of Sept. 25, 2011.

The Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week is selected by the APSU Sports Information staff each Wednesday during the academic year. Copies in a Flash, of Clarksville, sponsors the award.
