Delta State linebacker De’Koven Ware is DSU’s third consecutive Defensive honoree, fourth of the season. The senior linebacker turned-in a game-best effort in Saturday’s home setback versus No. 2 West Georgia, leading all players with eight solo tackles and eight total stops. The Dawson, Ga. native also registered four tackles for a loss of 17 yards with two sacks for 11 yards. Ware added one quarterback hurry and was responsible for the Statesmen’s lone score of the day when he scooped up a blocked punt midway through the fourth quarter, racing 10 yards for a TD.
