Rolland-Jones led the Sun Belt in sacks with 13 and in tackles for loss with 18.5. He needs just 0.5 sacks to become the NCAA's all-time leader in career sacks with 44, breaking Terrell Suggs' record. He already owns Sun Belt and Arkansas State all-time sack records.

His three forced fumbles are tied for the second most in the conference this year, while his 10 career forced fumbles are the third most in the nation among active players. Rolland-Jones is the third individual to win back-to-back Player of the Year awards – and the second A-State player to do so (Ryan Aplin - 2011 & 2012).
