COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Roberts named LSC Special Teams Player of the Week

UTPB kicker Carson Roberts was named the Lone Star Conference Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday.

The Odessa native and Permian graduate was instrumental in the Falcons’ 27-19 win over Western New Mexico Saturday on the road, taking care of all the kicking duties in the rainy conditions in Silver City, N.M.

He kicked a pair of field goals which included one from 40 yards in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory for the Falcons, who improved to 3-1 overall.

Roberts also averaged 38.3 yards per punt with all of them resulting in a fair catch. He had a pair of kickoffs go for a touchback and Western New Mexico only averaged 18.5 yards per return.

Roberts is currently perfect on PAT attempts this year, going 12-of-12.

Angelo State linebacker Josh Quinton was named the Defensive Player of the Week. Midwestern State wide receiver Kylan Harrison was named the Offensive Player of the Week.
