UTPB punter Sergio Landeros was named this week’s Lone Star Conference Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday.
This is the fifth time in program history that a UTPB player has earned Special Teams Player of the Week honors.
Landeros averaged 45.75 yards per punt with his longest of 50 yards in the Falcons’ 29-17 win over No. 16-ranked Texas A&M-Kingsville Saturday at Ratliff Stadium.
Landeros also had two punts that went inside the 20-yard line with both of them being downed at the 1-yard line.
One of his punts that landed on the 1-yard line led to a safety on the following play in the fourth quarter.
UTPB is now 4-1, 2-0 and will next face Midwestern State (2-2, 1-1) at 7 p.m. Saturday at Wichita Falls.
