Texas A&M's David Olano earned Co-SEC Special Teams Player of the Week honors following his pivotal role in the Aggies' dominant 34-7 victory against Arkansas. This marks the first conference accolade of his career. Olano contributed 10 points to the scoreboard, converting two field goals from over 50 yards and making all four of his extra-point attempts. His performance included a career-best 57-yard field goal, which secured a 20-7 lead for Texas A&M at halftime. This impressive kick is tied for the longest field goal by any SEC kicker this season and ranks ninth in program history.
Olano's outstanding kicking display was crucial in the Aggies' substantial win. The 57-yard field goal specifically stands out as the longest by a Texas A&M kicker since 1999. The Aggies are set to face Missouri next Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for 11 a.m. CT on ABC.
