Cantele named Big 12 special team player of the week

Senior place kicker Jack Cantele was named Big 12 special teams players of the week on Monday after a impressive performance on Saturday, going 4-4 on field goals in K-State’s 39-33 win in triple overtime.

Cantele hit from 20, 33, 39 and 44 yards in his 12 point performance. After the game, Cantele’s field goal total for his career was 23 which would rank him 10th all time in school history.

This is Cantele’s second player of the week honor after knocking in a game winner in 2013 at home against TCU.

Cantele sat out for the majority of the 2014 season after missing three field goals in the Auburn game.
