The Indoor Football League announced on Wednesday that Tucson Sugar Skulls linebacker Jajuan Harley, a Tallahassee native who played for the Florida State Seminoles for part of his college career, was awarded Week 14 Defensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts in Tucson’s 34-27 win over the Bismarck Bucks on Saturday.
Harley, who had recently switched positions from defensive back to linebacker, finished last Saturday’s game with 11 total tackles (10 solo), with 4.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and a fumble recovery. Late in the first half, Harley recovered a fumble in the Bucks’ territory that set up the Sugar Skulls offense for a touchdown on the ensuing possesion.
Harley is also the first member of the Sugar Skulls to earn Defensive Player of the Week honors in 2021. Quarterback Demry Croft was awarded Week 6 Offensive Player of the Week honors earlier this season.
