NEW ORLEANS – The Sun Belt Conference announced Monday that Texas State punter Marcus Ripley has been named the SBC Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance at Colorado last Saturday, Sept. 9.
Ripley averaged 45.9 yards on nine punts against the Buffaloes and booted a career-long 71-yard punt in the game. It is the longest punt for a Bobcat since Sept. 10, 2011, when Ben Follis had a 71-yard punt at Wyoming.
Ripley also kicked a 53-yard punt, two punts of 49 yards and added one 48-yard punt in the game.
