Kyle Loomis has added two more post-season honors to his haul of All-American awards for 2013. Loomis was named the FCS Punter of the Year by College Football Performance Awards, and to the College Sporting News Fabulous 50 FCS Players.
Loomis had already been named 1st team All-American by AP, the American Football Coaches Association and Walter Camp, and second team All-American by the Sports Network, and Punter of the Year by the NCAA FCS Athletic Directors Association. Running back DJ Adams, who earned third team All-American honors from AP and The Sports Network, was named honorable mention by the College Sporting News.
Loomis led the nation in punting in 2013 with a 46.5 average. A 6-2, 210-pound junior from Roseburg, OR, set a new Portland State record for punting average in 2013. He led the nation for most of the season.
