NEW ORLEANS, La. | South Alabama running back La'Damian Webb was named the Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Week following his performance in a 31-3 victory over Arkansas State on the road on Saturday.

Webb rushed for a career-high 163 yards on 28 carries in the wind and rain in Jonesboro (Ark.), starting the game with a 69-yard run from scrimmage to set up his first touchdown of the day to give the Jags an early lead. He ended the contest with 11 straight carries and scoring the last of his three touchdowns, capping off an 11-play, 52-yard drive that ate up 7:16 in the final quarter.

He scored three touchdowns on the day, a new career high, including a pair of one yard runs and a three-yard run. He now has 10 touchdowns on the season, nine rushing and one receiving.

With his rushing performance, Webb recorded his third 100-yard rushing performance of his career and second this fall, and the total was the sixth highest in school history and most since Tra Minter's 189-yard performance against Jackson State (9/17/19). The three touchdowns also marked the fourth multi-rushing touchdown performance for Webb in his career and third this season, and it also tied a single-game record for rushing scores at South Alabama.
