BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana freshman linebacker Tegray Scales earned Big Ten co-Freshman of the Week honors, the conference announced Monday. Scales shared the award with Minnesota quarterback Chris Streveler. He is the first Hoosier to collect the honor since nose tackle Ralph Green III on Nov. 25, 2013.
Scales recorded five tackles, one sack and one quarterback hurry in the Hoosiers 31-27 victory over No. 18 Missouri on Saturday. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native has appeared in all three games this season and he owns 17 stops, the sack and 1.5 tackles for loss.
With their win over Missouri, the Hoosiers claimed their first victory over a top 20 team since 2006 (No. 15 Iowa, 31-28, Oct. 14) and their first on the road since 1987 (No. 9 Ohio State, 31-10, on Oct. 10).
Up next, IU (2-1) opens its 115th year of Big Ten football hosting Maryland (3-1) on Saturday, Sept. 27. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. EDT at Memorial Stadium (52,929; FieldTurf) and BTN will broadcast the game.
