KANSAS – The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) announced their selections for the KCAC Football Players of the week on Tuesday afternoon.
Jonathon Scheffler was named KCAC Football Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts this past Saturday against Saint Mary.
Scheffler had an extraordinary day in the Bluejays' win on Saturday, hitting two field goals, including a 54-yarder, which puts him tied for third all-time in KCAC history, and in second place in Tabor College history. He was also perfect in hitting all five PATs he attempted and recorded 494 kickoff yards on eight attempts with four touchbacks and one kickoff going through the back of the endzone, averaging 61.8 yards-per-kickoff. The freshman currently owns the longest field goal in the KCAC and in the NAIA this season as of Saturday and ranks No. 1 in both the entire KCAC and the NAIA in made field goals, with nine on the season.
This marks the second consecutive week in which Scheffler has been named the KCAC Football Special Teams Player of the Week, and the second time overall this season he has earned the honor.
