Dominique Davenport, a senior corner on the No. 2 ranked Statesman Football team, has been named the GoStatesmen.com Male Student-Athlete of the Week for the period ending Sunday, Oct. 9 after leading Delta State to a 34-20 victory over Arkansas-Monticello.
Davenport continues to have arguably his best season as a collegiate football player. The All-Gulf South Conference selection and All-American candidate is currently 3rd on the team lead with 32 total tackles, including two tackles for loss, and two interceptions.
The Baldwyn, Miss., native also leads the team with eight pass break ups. Davenport helped lead the way for the Statesmen defense with nine total tackles and three pass break ups at Henderson State.
Davenport used the bright lights and the big stage of GSC-TV Live to intercept two Damon Wicker passes and climb to third on the DSU career interceptions chart with 11. With four games to go in the regular season, Davenport still has the dream of breaking the career interceptions record at Delta State.
He currently ranks third on the career chart behind Monterio James (13) and Jamarcus Wiggins (12).
Davenport also topped the 150-career tackles plateau with his four stops versus UAM. In 41 games, Davenport has tallied 153 tackles with 5.0 tackles-for-loss, 11 interceptions and 31 pass break-ups.
There is no doubt that Davenport will close his career at Delta State as one of the Statesmen’s all-time great corners.
