VALDOSTA, Ga. – Valdosta State sophomore Devin Ross has been named a D2Football.com Player of the Week for special teams after his 66-yard scoop-and-score in the Blazers' 49-33 win over North Greenville.

Ross had just one special teams play in the game, but it may have been the most impactful play of the afternoon. Valdosta State led 21-13 in a competitive first half when North Greenville lined up for a field goal with only seconds left before halftime. The kick was blocked, and Ross picked up the loose ball and took it the distance as the second-quarter clock expired.

The play was a 10-point swing. Instead of possibly cutting its deficit to five, North Greenville went to the locker room trailing 28-13.

On defense, Ross added five tackles and a pass breakup.
