Fort Hays State kicker Brandon Brown has been named the D2Football.com Co-Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the 54-41 win at Pittsburg State last Saturday.
Brown was a perfect 4-of-4 on field goal attempts and 6-of-6 on extra point attempts. He converted field goals from 19, 38, 37, and 49 yards. The 49-yard field goal was a season long for Brown and tied the seventh longest field goal in FHSU history. He averaged 60.5 yards per kickoff, producing four touchbacks. Brown is now 13-of-14 on field goal attempts this year, with his only miss from over 50 yards.
Brown shares the honor this week with West Alabama kicker Jordan Bennett. Bennett’s numbers were similar to Brown’s for the week, converting four field goal attempts and six extra-point attempts.
Eric Poindexter from Quincy (Ill.) was the D2Football.com Offensive Player of the Week, recording 20 receptions for 317 yards. Brandon Jones of Texas A&M-Kingsville was the Defensive Player of the Week, recording four sacks and six tackles for loss.
