Reaves led a Jaguar defense that surrendered just 43 yards on the ground and 313 overall in last week’s seven-point defeat of Louisiana-Lafayette, posting nine tackles — including one for loss — a forced fumble, two passes broken up and a blocked kick.  In finishing one stop shy of equaling his career high the sophomore paced the unit in the category for the first time this fall in Sun Belt Conference action, while he set a new career high in passes defensed.  Reaves blocked the Ragin’ Cajuns’ first extra-point attempt, and he also intercepted a two-point conversion attempt in the end zone to keep the Jags’ deficit at just one point after ULL had regained the lead with eight-and-a-half minutes remaining in regulation to be named the league’s Special Teams Student-Athlete of the Week.
