10/30/2023 10:39:00 AM | Football
ST. LOUIS — South Dakota State kicker/punter Hunter Dustman was honored Monday as the Missouri Valley Football Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the top-ranked Jackrabbits' road victory last weekend at in-state rival South Dakota.
A junior from East Bethel, Minnesota, Dustman went 3-for-3 on field goals and scored a career-high 13 points in SDSU's 37-3 victory. His 49-yard field goal on the final play of the first half was a career long and gave the Jackrabbits a 17-3 halftime lead. He added field goals of 22 and 47 yards in the third quarter, and also was 4-for-4 on extra points as SDSU scored on its final seven possessions of the contest. With his three field goals, Dustman moved into eighth place on the Jackrabbit all-time charts with 26 career field goals.
To close out his performance, Dustman's lone punt of the game traveled 49 yards.
Dustman's award is the third of his career after receiving the honor twice during SDSU's national championship season in 2022.
South Dakota State, 8-0 overall and atop the MVFC standings at 5-0, hosts No.10/11 North Dakota State Saturday in the annual Dakota Marker game. Kickoff before another sellout crowd at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium is set for 2 p.m.
