On the heels of earning his third MIAA Special Teams Athlete of the Week honor for the season, junior kicker/punter Dante Brown received D2Football.com Special Teams Player of the Week honors for all of NCAA Division II on Wednesday (Oct. 3).
Brown accounted for all of Fort Hays State’s points in a 15-0 win over Central Oklahoma in Hays. He set a new single-game school record for field goals with five. He pushed the Tigers out to a 12-0 lead by halftime with four field goals, then added his fifth late in the third quarter for the school record. He made field goals from 21, 39, 30, 25, and 44 yards. Brown also punted the ball six times for an average of 39.8 yards, with a game-long of 63 yards and three punts that started UCO drives inside the 20. Brown is now 12-of-14 on field goal attempts so far this year, with his only misses coming from beyond 40 yards.
