AGAIN! Tyler White named SEC's Special Teams Player of the Week

This is not a copy-and-pasted story.

Texas A&M punter Tyler White is the Southeastern Conference’s Special Team Player of the Week.

Again. For the second time in as many weeks.

Utilized much less in Week 6 than his amazing Week 5 performance, White punted three times in A&M’s 41-10 throttling of Missouri. His punts covered 139 yards for a 46.3-yard average.

The Aggie shares the honor with Vanderbilt kicker Brock Taylor, who played an important role in the Commodores’ historic upset of Alabama.

It’s now time to talk about perhaps the most perfect punt in Texas A&M history, if not football history.

With just seconds remaining before halftime and the Aggies up 24-0, White trotted out for the first time all afternoon.

A&M’s drive had stalled at the Mizzou 49-yard line, and Mike Elko called upon his special teams weapon.

White’s high boot bounced at the 2-yard line and took a hard right toward the pylon. After tip-toeing down the goal line (but never touching), the ball went out of bounds at the half-yard line.

Just listen to Joe Tessitore’s excitement.

On 19 total punts, the Southlake product’s punts have carried 876 yards for a 46.1-yard average. Six have carried more than 50 yards, and 12 have been downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

Any debate over whether or not White is having a special season is officially settled.

He’s A&M’s newest addition to an impressive history of punters.

He’s on All-SEC and All-American watch.

He’s also a contender for the Ray Guy Award.

On "the punt", the referee standing right where the ball went out of bounds was laughing because I didn't think he believed what he just saw.

It's either a piss-missile or downed inside the 20. He is a weapon.

That was the most incredible punt w/ the bounce at the goal line going out of bounds at the half yard line that I've ever seen.
Most impressive Mr. White.

I rewound that punt so many times. You're right. The ref was laughing and shaking his head after it made that last little push to the sideline.

Hopefully we don't need Tyler much this year, but it's fantastic that we have him. I feel secure that he can flip the field every time he's called up.
