ATLANTA – Millsaps football sophomore kicker and punter Ethan Klapatch continued his dominant season by being named the SAA Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time in 2022, the conference office announced on Monday.

Klapatch was strong against a tough No. 5 Trinity squad during Senior Day on Saturday. He averaged 56 yards on three kickoffs, while adding a PAT. Klapatch also punted the ball five times by placing two inside the 20-yard line, averaging 43.4 yards with a long shot of 60 yards. Additionally, three of his punts resulted in fair catches.

Monday's announcement is the third time Klapatch has earned the weekly honor in his young Millsaps career. He secured the recognition two weeks ago on Oct. 24 and following last season's finale on Nov. 15, 2021.

Klapatch also becomes the fourth Millsaps football student-athlete this season to secure SAA weekly recognition. Sophomore quarterback Brody Davis was named SAA Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 10, while freshman defensive back Tondarrius Stallion was also tabbed SAA Special Teams Player of the Week on Sept. 12.

Millsaps concludes its 2022 campaign at Centre College on Saturday, Nov. 12. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. CT with live video and live stats available at gomajors.com.
