Christian Kirk secured his spot in the Texas A&M record books in the third quarter of Saturday’s win over New Mexico State.
His 73-yard return down the right sideline was his second of the night and his fourth career touchdown on a punt return, the most ever by an A&M player. Kevin Smith (1998-91) and Dustin Harris (2009-12) each had three career touchdowns.
Kirk also became the first player in school history to score multiple times on a punt return. The former top recruit and Arizona native returned two fourth-down kicks for scores during his freshman season.
