BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Willie Quinn keeps winning awards, and now records are going along for the ride.Southern’s dynamic return specialist was named the Southwestern Athletic Conference Specialist of the Week on Monday for the third time this season. Quinn returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown in the Jaguars 40-21 win against Texas Southern on Saturday in Houston.
Quinn’s sixth career kickoff return for a touchdown tied a Football Championship Subdivision held by Hampton’s Jerome Mathis. Quinn, who has five touchdown returns this season — four on kickoffs and one on a punt — is one touchdown return from tying the FCS single-season record held by Bashir Levingston of Eastern Washington, Corey Smith of Montana State and LeRoy Vann of Florida A&M.
“Willie Quinn is as good a returner as anyone in the country,” Prairie View coach Willie Simmons said Monday on the SWAC coaches weekly teleconference. “Obviously he has a knack for getting into the end zone, and (the Jaguars) take great pride in blocking for Willie Quinn.
