North Alabama punter/placekicker Taylor Pontius
Pontius claims his second Special Teams laurel in three weeks after an impressive performance in all phases of UNA's kicking game in the Lions' 27-6 road win over UNC-Pembroke. The Biloxi, Miss. native connected on both of his field goal efforts and all three of his PAT kicks. Pontius extended UNA's lead to 10-3 with a 37-yarder in the first quarter and then made the score 13-6 via a 27-yarder in the third frame. The senior booted six punts for 266 yards, led by a long of 54 yards and three punts downed at the UNCP 3, 5 and 13-yard lines. Pontius also booted six kickoffs for 389 yards with four touchbacks.
