He is a heck of a kicker and it's not surprising to see him getting these accolades.
University of Kentucky sophomore punter Landon Foster completed his second season with a strong performance in Kentucky’s season finale against Tennessee, punting seven times for an average of 42.9 yards per punt, earning him Honorable Mention Punter of the Week Honors by the College Football Performance Awards.
The native of Franklin, Tenn., punted seven times for Kentucky against Tennessee for an average of 42.9 yards per punt, including pinning the Volunteers inside their own 20 yard line three times. Foster also drilled a 48-yard punt in the game.
On the season, Foster punted 68 times for a 41.3 average, including seven punts of 50-plus yards. The sophomore had one of his best games of the season against highly ranked Alabama, where he had eight punts for a 44.8 yards-per-punt average, including a then-career high tying 58-yard punt. Foster booted a 59-yard punt against Vanderbilt to set a new career high.
In just his second season with Kentucky, Foster already qualifies for UK’s career punting average record list, ranking third all-time with a 42.0 yards-per-punt average.
This is the second weekly honor of the season for Foster, who was named Third-Team Preseason All-Southeastern Conference by CollegeSportsMadness.com and Fourth-Team Preseason All-SEC by Phil Steele’s College Football this preseason. Foster has also been named one of 85 candidates for the 2013 Ray Guy Award, which annually honors the nation’s best punter.

UT's punter looked like Ray Guy against the Cats.
