FARMINGTON, Utah — For the second week in a row, a Sacramento State player has been named the winner Big Sky Special Teams Player of the Week award. Grant Meadors took home this week's honor after accounting for 16 points in the win over Northern Colorado. 

Meadors made field goals of 37, 28, 34 and 42 yards against the Bears. His final two field goals erased a one-point deficit and gave the team a 40-35 lead. He also made all four of his extra point attempts.

The sophomore entered the game having made 4-of-5 field goal attempts this season and then doubled that total during the game. His first and last field goals against the Bears eclipsed his season long.

His four field goals are tied for the second most in school single-game history. He became the fifth Hornet to have four in a game joining Edgar Castaneda (2012), Chris Diniz (2010), Bret LeVier (2002) and Jim Crouch (1991). Brad Cornish holds the school record with five against Weber State in 2014.

Meadors came to the Hornets after spending two seasons at Oregon. He played in six games for the Ducks where he was 5-of-5 on PATs but never attempted a field goal.

Rodney Hammond, Jr., won the Big Sky Special Teams Player of the Week award the week prior. Hammond had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown at Weber State. The pair are only the second set of Hornets to earn the award since Sacramento State joined the Big Sky in 1996. The previous occurence came in 2014 when Cornish and returner DeAndre Carter were recognized.

The Hornets have also had two players named Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week this year. Koa Akui earned the award after having two interceptions at Nevada in week two. Dylan Hampsten was recognized after the Central Arkansas game where he had 3.5 TFLs including 2.5 sacks.
