JONESBORO, Ark. (9/26/2011) — Following his record-setting performance in Arkansas State's 53-24 victory over Central Arkansas Saturday, sophomore placekicker Brian Davis (Brentwood, Tenn.) has been named Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, the league announced Monday morning.

He was also named as the College Football Performance Awards' National Placekicker of the Week, the CFPA announced Sunday.

Davis set new Sun Belt Conference and ASU records when he was perfect on six field goals and five extra-point attempts against the Bears.  His six field goals made were an ASU and Sun Belt Conference record and his 23 points scored in the game was also an SBC and ASU record for points scored in a single game by a kicker.  Davis did not miss on the night, connecting on field goals of 24, 32, 33, 34, 21 and 33 yards, and was 5-of-5 on extra point attempts.  Both his six field goals and 23 points were the most by a kicker in the nation this season, and he was just one field goal and one point shy of tying the NCAA records as well.

Davis' six field goals broke the ASU record of five set by Scott Roper against North Texas in 1986 and the SBC record of five held by Dennis Hopovac of North Texas and Dustin Rivest of FIU.  Roper also scored 19 points against North Texas to set the previous ASU record and Jeremy Knott of North Texas set the previous league scoring mark when he put up 19 points against Western Kentucky in 2009.

Davis has now made 8-of-10 field goals on the season and is a perfect 12-of-12 on extra point attempts.  He leads A-State in scoring among all players and is ranked tied for first in the Sun Belt Conference in scoring by kick with 9.0 points per game.  Davis' 2.0 field goals made per game places him tied for sixth in the nation.

Davis and the Red Wolves will open Sun Belt Conference play Saturday when they travel to Bowling Green, Ky. for a 3:00 p.m. matchup against the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky.  The game will be televised by the Sun Belt Network.

Tickets for ASU's four remaining home games are on sale and can be ordered by contacting the ASU Box Office at 870-972-ASU1 or 1-888-ASU-FANS, or by visiting AStateRedWolves.com.
