Kansas State senior kick returner Morgan Burns picked up his second consecutive Big 12 weekly honor on Monday, as he was again named the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance in K-State’s thrilling 38-35 victory over Iowa State on Saturday.
It marked the second time in the last three years a Wildcat has earned a weekly conference honor in consecutive weeks, while it was the first in the special teams category since David Allen was honored following the Iowa State and Texas games in 1999.
With Burns’ honor last week and Jack Cantele’s accolade following the Louisiana Tech game, K-State now has 18 Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors since 2011.
