Ramos, Jones named Players of the Week
10/21/2024
A pair of Tigers earned recognition from the Southeastern Conference on Monday.
Placekicker Damian Ramos was named the SEC’s Specialist of the Week following his perfect 4-for-4 effort in LSU’s win at Arkansas. The junior hit a career-long 48-yarder in the second quarter and added a 47-yarder in the fourth quarter to make the lead three scores, 27-10.
The four makes were a career best for the junior from Baltimore. He has made multiple kick of over 40 yards in back-to-back weeks for the Tigers.
Junior right tackle Emery Jones was also recognized. He was named the SEC’s Offensive Lineman of the Week. LSU once again did not allow a single sack of Garrett Nussmeier, keeping that season total at just two.
LSU was able to salt the game away Saturday night with a 14-play drive that chewed up almost eight and a half minutes. Eleven of the 14 plays on the drive were runs behind Jones and Co.
