DALLAS — UTSA place-kicker Hunter Duplessis has been named Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the season-opening victory against Illinois, the league office announced on Monday.
Duplessis opened the 2021 campaign by making all three of his field goal attempts and going 4-for-4 on extra points in UTSA's 37-30 road win over the Illini on Saturday night. The senior all-conference performer drilled a pair of field goals in the second quarter to help hand the Roadrunners a 20-14 halftime advantage, and his third make of the night late in the third stanza gave the visitors a 23-17 lead.
