Harris Earns Another ‘Player Of Week’ Award
Zeiko Harris has been named Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week, marking the second time this season the Bermudian footballer has earned the honour.
Harris attends Appalachian State University in North Carolina, and the school’s announcement said, “Junior Zeiko Harris was named Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced Tuesday. This is the defender’s second honor this season, and the Mountaineers fourth defensive honor this year.
“Harris anchored the Mountaineer backline that held Central Arkansas scoreless on Sunday for App State’s first conference win and fifth shutout of the season. The Sandys Parish, Bermuda native has started every game for the Mountaineers so far this season, playing the full 90 minutes in every shutout for App State.”
“We are happy for Zeiko to get this recognition for all his efforts,” head coach Jason O’Keefe said. “It takes a team to earn wins and shutouts but he is certainly a strong force and leader in our defense, which translates to success. I am sure he will be grateful and use this as continued motivation to keep working hard.”
