Madison Grad Rookie of the Week in College Conference

Madison High School graduate Carson Lassiter is the defensive rookie of the week for the New Jersey Athletic Conference.

Lassiter, a freshman cornerback for SUNY Cortland, was quarterback for the Dodgers during the team's last two championship seasons.

He helped the Red Dragons beat William Paterson 26-15 on Saturday.

"Lassiter registered seven tackles in the contest, with six of his tackles solo. He also recorded a pass breakup and a fourth-quarter fumble recovery," SUNY Cortland Athletics said.

Lassiter "currently ranks tied for third in the NJAC in passes defended per game (1.50)," according to a conference announcement about the players of the week (PDF).
