Special Teams Player of the Week: Casey Kautzman, Montana Tech
Kautzman, a junior kicker/punter from Butte, Mont., is the Special Teams Player of the Week.
He went 2-for-2 on field goals and 5-for-5 on PAT extra point kicks in No. 7 ranked Montana Tech 49-7 road victory at MSU-Northern. The Orediggers were only forced to punt once, but he landed it inside the opponent’s 10-yard line.
Kautzman scored 11 points in the game. He currently ranks tied for second in the Frontier in points scored with 48 points this season. He converted 7-for-8 on field goals and has put more than half of his 25 punts inside the 20-yard line with just two touchbacks.
This is Kautzman’s first career Erck Hotels / Frontier Conference Player of the Week award.
