Sutherland Named Sun Belt Special Teams Player of the Week

MONROE, La. – Fifth-year senior placekicker Calum Sutherland, who accounted for all 12 points in ULM's 12-7 victory over Jackson State Saturday night, has been named Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week as selected by a media panel. His 12 points matched his career high (12 at UCLA in 2019), as the Warhawks won for the first time since Nov. 23, 2019, 45-42 over Coastal Carolina, ending a 12-game losing streak.

A native of Keller, Texas, Sutherland converted 4-of-6 field-goal attempts, hitting from 29, 45, 42 and 49 yards. His 42-yarder early in the fourth quarter gave ULM a 9-7 lead and his career-long 49-yarder with 2:24 left in the game provided the final margin.
