BUIES CREEK, N.C. – After setting Campbell single game and
season rushing records, De’Shawn Jones has been named Pioneer Football League
Co-Offensive Player of the Week.
Jones ran for a school record 201 yards and three touchdowns
to power Campbell to a 39-9 win at in-state PFL rival Davidson Saturday.
Jones shares the PFL’s week 9 honors with Morehead State’s
Justin Cornwall, who hauled in 10 passes for 134 yards and three touchdowns in
the Eagles’ double-overtime win over Drake.
A junior from Greensboro, N.C., Jones carried the ball 19
times with touchdown runs of 51, 59 and two yards in the win. Coming into the
game with 745 rushing yards for the season, Jones also broke Brian Hudson's
2013 single season Campbell rushing record (884), and now has 946 yards with
two games remaining on the Camels' schedule.
Jones posted his fourth and fifth runs of 50 or more yards
on the season, recording his fourth 100 yard rushing game of 2015, and fifth
overall.
He is the second Camel to earn PFL weekly honors this
season, following Ugonna Awuruonye’s defensive player of the week award on Oct.
3. Awuruonye was also named the STATS Defensive Player of the Week.
The Camels will head to San Diego on Nov. 7 for their final
PFL road test of the 2015 season. Campbell returns home on Nov. 14 against
Jacksonville. For tickets, please visit GoCamels.com/tickets.
