Sandvik Named Old Trapper MW Special Teams Player of the Week

• He is 8-for-8 this season in field goals

>Wyoming kicker Erik Sandvik was named the Old Trapper Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday morning. The junior helped lead the Pokes to a comeback win in overtime at San Jose State last Friday.

A native of Steamboat, Colo., Sandvik was a perfect 3-of-3 in field goals in the win over San Jose State. He also hit a game winner from 21-yards for the first walk-off win for the Pokes since the 2023 Arizona Bowl, as former kicker and teammate of Sandvik, John Hoyland won the game for the Pokes.

He is a perfect 8-of-8 in field goals this season, as is tied for the lead nationally with 15 other kickers in field goal kicking percentage.
