DENTON, Texas – After a fantastic performance going 4-for-4 on field goals, including kicking the game-winner in the final 10 seconds against LA Tech, senior kicker Noah Rauschenberg was named The American Special Teams Player of the Week, the league announced Monday.
Rauschenberg becomes the first player in program history to earn AAC honors after UNT joined the league for the 2023-24 academic year.
In addition to going 4-for-4 on FGs, he also finished 4-for-4 on extra points to remain perfect on the year in both field goals and extra points. He is one of just two AAC kickers to not miss a kick this season.
With his performance, Rauschenberg became the first UNT player to make four field goals in the same game since Ethan Mooney against Middle Tennessee on Oct. 19, 2019.
Along with Rauschenberg’s honor, junior running back Ayo Adeyi landed on the AAC Honor Roll after finishing the contest with 148 yards on 19 carries and a pair of touchdowns against the Bulldogs.
UNT returns to action Saturday, Sept. 30 when they host Abilene Christian. Tickets for the contest can be purchased here.
