Valdosta State placekicker Daniel Anderson (JR, 5-9, 188, Meansville, GA) is the Gulf South Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for the period ending September 18th.

Andersen earns his second all-time award, thanks to a perfect performance in Valdosta State’s upset win. The junior connected on all three of his point-after kick attempts and he also made good on all three of his field goal efforts. The Meansville, GA native hit field goals from 32, 36 and 43 yards with the 43-yarder putting the Blazers ahead by three points with 3:15 left to play. The go-ahead field goal was the third-longest of his career and his three-field goal effort tied a career-best.
