DALLAS — Sam Houston freshman Jacob Walker has been a spark coming off the bench this season and after a solid week, he was recognized by Conference USA for his play this past week.
Â
Walker has been named the league's Freshman of the Week, CUSA officials announced on Monday. He averaged 15.0 as the Bearkats lost by 10 at undefeated Oklahoma State on Dec. 2 and a 12-point win at Texas Southern on Saturday.
Â
Walker scored a career-high 17 points against the Cowboys. The true freshman was 3 for 6 from 3-point range, including a 3 and a pair of free throws for his own 5-0 run to pull Sam Houston within 72-70 with just over five minutes to go in the game.
Â
He followed that with 13 points and five rebounds Saturday as the Kats topped TSU 82-70.
