Congrats to Sankey

May he do amazing things along with his teammates on defense to keep the offensive crazy Big Sky opponents away from the end zone and away from field goals.

May the Sac State 2015 DEFENSE rock!!

I watched Sankey today at the Big Sky Media day and have to say he represented himself and Sac State very well. He is an impressive young man.

Sankey earns All-American 1st team from Stats, Inc. Well deserved. :notworthy: :clap:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento State senior linebacker Darnell Sankey was named to the STATS FCS All-America first team, it was announced today.

Sankey finished the season ranked second in the Football Championship Subdivision and first in the Big Sky with 153 total tackles. The senior's total was the second most in school history, placing him just one off the record set by Ryland Wickman in 1997. Along with 57 solo tackles, Sankey also had 9.0 tackles-for-loss, 3.5 sacks, 5 pass breakups and forced a fumble. During the year, he had at least 10 tackles in nine of the team's 11 games, including setting the school record with 27 stops at Weber State. That performance was also the most by an FCS player during the year.
