Punter Kirby Van Der Kamp has been named Big 12 special teams Player of the Week for his performance in Iowa State’s 38-23 win against Tulsa on Saturday, Sept. 1.

Van Der Kamp, a true junior, downed five of his nine punts inside the 15-yard line — forcing the Golden Hurricane to begin their drives at the 2-, 8-, 9-, 13- and 15-yard lines.

On that day, Van Der Kamp’s punts averaged 43 yards, which currently ranks fifth in the Big 12.
