A Badger earns Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week

After a perfect performance in Wisconsin’s 38-17 win over Purdue, kicker Nathaniel Vakos earned Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week.

Vakos nailed all three of his field goals, including a 48-yard boot to help Wisconsin win their first Big Ten game of the year. The Badgers have officially found their answer at a position which has lacked consistency over the past few Wisconsin seasons.

Vakos is now 7-7 on field goal tries this season, with a long of 49. He has also not missed an extra point. Wisconsin will certainly rely on an improved kicking game as Big Ten play continues.
