GRAMBLING, La. | Grambling State University junior kicker/punter
Garrett Urban received his second honor in as many days as he was named on Tuesday the Louisiana Sports Writers Association's (LSWA) Special Teams Player of the Week.
Urban, who earned the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Specialist on Monday, played a key factor in Grambling State's 16-10 win against Tennessee State on Sunday in the Black College Football Hall of Fame Classic. The Houston, Texas native punted the ball six times for 246 yards, averaging 41.0 yards per punt, with a long of 51 yards. In addition, Urban booted a 24-yard field goal with 9:48 remaining in regulation to give GSU the 16-10 advantage.
Grambling State (1-0) returns to action on Saturday with a trip to Hattiesburg, Miss. to take on Southern Miss. Kickoff from Carlisle-Faulkner Field at M.M. Roberts Stadium is set for 6 p.m.
