Kirby Van Der Kamp has earned the honor of being named the College Football Performance Awards punter of the week, according to a news release.
Van Der Kamp, a true junior from West Des Moines, punted the ball four times in Iowa State’s 37-3 win Saturday against Western Illinois. Of those four punts, three of them went inside the 20-yard line, with the fourth landing at that spot.
Van Der Kamp leads the Big 12 in punting yardage with 796 and has seen 15 of his 19 punts go inside the 20-yard line. Not one of Van Der Kamp’s punts has been returned for positive yardage.
