Arkansas' Jordan Domineck, Bumper Pool earn SEC weekly honors
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A pair of Razorbacks earned SEC weekly honors for their efforts in Saturday's win over Cincinnati.
Arkansas linebacker Bumper Pool earned Co-SEC Defensive Player of the Week and defensive end Jordan Domineck was tabbed as Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week after the Hogs' 31-24 win over the Bearcats. Both honors are the first of Domineck and Pool’s careers.
Domineck had a second half sack, forced fumble and two-yard fumble recovery that led to a two-play, 39-second drive that resulted in a touchdown to extend the Razorback lead to 31-17. He recorded two tackles, one sack for a loss of 10 yards, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery on the afternoon.
Pool started his 27th career game and led a defense that held Cincinnati scoreless in the first half for the first time since 2019. The Lucas, Texas, native recorded his 18th career double-digit tackle game with a team-high 13 tackles, including four solo stops and a tackle for loss of two yards. Pool’s 13 tackles tied for the second-most by an SEC player during Week 1.
No. 19 Arkansas (1-0) will host South Carolina (1-0) at 11 a.m. this Saturday in Fayetteville. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
