Fort Hays State’s Nathan Lindsey was named the Beyond Sports Network National Division II Athlete of the Week on Monday, November 10 for his efforts in the 49-41 win over Missouri Southern this past weekend. Lindsey had a great all-around game on both defense and special teams.
Lindsey recorded five tackles, a sack, two fumble recoveries, and one interception on defense, and scored two touchdowns in the game, one on defense and one on special teams. His first touchdown was on a 49-yard fumble recovery in the second quarter to push Fort Hays State’s lead to 21-7 at the time. His second touchdown was a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 5:48 to play in the game which gave the Tigers breathing room for a 42-28 lead. His second fumble recovery was on Missouri Southern’s first drive of the fourth quarter at the FHSU 14-yardline, a drive that could have potentially tied the game with the score at 28-21 in favor of FHSU. His interception stopped Missouri Southern’s first drive of the second half at the FHSU 22-yardline.
