LAS VEGAS, N.M. – The Las Vegas, New Mexico, area Subway® restaurants and Manger Regina Denardo is pleased to announce that senior Jared Koster is the first repeat athlete of the Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week honor.

Against Colorado Mesa on Saturday (Oct. 11), Koster led the New Mexico Highlands football team (2-4, 2-2 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) for the sixth time in tackled. He recorded 12 solo tackles and five assisted tackles for 17 total tackles, the second-most in a game this season for the linebacker. He also recorded two tackles for loss.
 
Koster continues to lead NCAA Division II, as he has all season, in solo and total tackles per game. With the outstanding game Saturday, he leads both categories by more than a tackle. Koster averages 15.3 total tackles (second in the NCAA, regardless of division) and 9.3 solo tackles (fourth in the NCAA, regardless of division) per game.

New for the 2014-2015 school year, a Subway® Student-Athlete of the Week will be chosen every week for the athletic year. Every student-athlete chosen for the weekly award will be eligible to win the Subway Eat Fresh® Student-Athlete of the Year award following the 2014-2015 academic year. While the weekly award will be based on athletic prowess, the yearly award will be bestowed upon an athlete based on success not only on the playing field, but also in the classroom and community involvement.
