What to know

  • SFA coach Carthel publicly condemned Panthers DB Zachery's tackle as the second-dirtiest play in his 27-year career after the Lumberjacks' 31–10 win.
  • Prairie View coach Jackson objected to Carthel's public criticism, saying he should have raised concerns privately at their postgame handshake or in staff talks.
  • Jackson accused Carthel of inciting racist social media harassment of Zachery and defended the junior's character (3.2 GPA, on track to graduate).
  • Jackson said he addressed the taunting internally but will not disclose details of any discipline, citing the need to handle player conduct in-house.

“When you come for one of our players, whether he's wrong or right, we're gonna come back and we'll deal with all those things in-house that we need to deal with. You don't get to know how I whoop my kids or if I whoop my kids.”

    Carthel condemns play at Monday press conference

    At his Monday press conference, SFA coach Colby Carthel publicly called the tackle "the second-dirtiest, most unsportsmanlike play" he'd seen in 27 years of college football, calling it "disgusting" and "pathetic."

    “I've coached 27 years of college football. That was the second-dirtiest, most unsportsmanlike play I've seen in my career. Absolutely no business in this game for a play like that. Disgusting. It's pathetic.”

  4. background

    Zachery's tackle draws criticism from SFA coach Carthel — In the first quarter of Stephen F. Austin's 31–10 victory, Panthers defensive back Eric Zachery went low on tight end Gerard Edimo, held his leg as Edimo flipped over, then walked away with an exaggerated limp. Carthel interpreted this as mocking an injured player.
