Air Force punter Luke Freer earned the distinction as the Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week for his performance Saturday, it was announced Tuesday.

Freer launched three punts for 170 yards, a 55.0 net average, in a 48-30 loss at Utah State.

He had punts of 60 and 59 yards that were downed inside the Aggies 3-yard line.

“Luke is a high, high achiever in everything that he does,” coach Troy Calhoun said.

Freer entered Saturday needing one punt to reach 50 in his career, qualifying to be ranked among Air Force’s all-time leaders in yards per punt. With the three attempts he enters that list at the top, averaging 46.5.

Through two games Freer is averaging 53.3 yards per punt, which would lead the Mountain West by nearly 6 yards per attempt and the nation by two but he has not yet reached the minimum number of punts to qualify.

Calhoun said Freer’s growth as a punter comes from his attention to detail.

“There’s a clear difference now from where he was two years ago,” Calhoun said. “It’s been neat to see. It’s well-earned.”
