Austin Rehkow, Idaho's record-setting punter and kicker, is joined as a preseason all-conference selection by quarterback Matt Linehan and receiver Callen Hightower. Rehkow is a first-team choice of the Sun Belt Conference coaches at kicker and punter, while Linehan and Hightower earned second-team recognition.
Rehkow, a senior, has been garnering national attention since his senior year at Central Valley High School (Spokane, Wash.) when he kicked a 67-yard field goal. He since has rewritten Idaho's punting records and has been a mainstay on the Ray Guy Award (for the nation's best punter) since his freshman season.
