Corvallis, Ore. -

            Corvallis, Ore. – Oregon State University junior placekicker Justin Kahut has been named the final Pac-10 Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for the season after his performance in last Thursday’s game at Oregon.

            Kahut, a junior from Portland, was perfect on four field goal attempts and three point-after-touchdown kicks for 15 points in the Beavers’ 37-33 loss to Oregon.  He made field goals of 28, 29, 40 and 45 yards.

            Kahut was also named the Special Teams Player of the Week for his 4-for-4 outing against UCLA Oct. 31. 

            For the season Kahut has made 22 of 27 (81 percent) of his field goal attempts, and is just one short of Alexis Serna’s school record total in 2005.
