Core Jackson Named Brooks Wallace Player of the Week

Weekly honor presented to the nation’s top shortstop
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah's Core Jackson has been named the Brooks Wallace Award Player of the Week, announced on Tuesday by the College Baseball Foundation. The award is given to the nation's most outstanding shortstop.
The senior from Wyoming, Ontario, was scorching hot with his bat last week, slashing .565 / .630 / .870 and helping Utah to a 4-1 record. Six of his 13 hits were for extra bases, including five doubles. He scored 10 runs and drove in 10 more as well.
Jackson had three doubles as part of a 4-for-5 line in a Feb. 28 win at California Baptist. He had five RBI while Jackson's three doubles tied the most in a game this season by a Big 12 player. He also reached base in five of six plate appearances during the weekend finale at UC Riverside, contributing four of Utah's 21 hits. The team hit total tied the most by a Big 12 team this season.
Defensively, he was error-free on 26 chances (13 assists, 13 putouts) and had a hand in five double plays.
For the season, Jackson is tied for third in the Big 12 with a .458 batting average while his 22 hits lead the league.
Next Up
Just one non-conference weekend remains for the Utes; the team heads out to San Jose State for a three-game series from March 7-9. First pitch in the series opener is set for 4 p.m. MT.
