PINEVILLE — Louisiana Christian University football punter Mason Ingram has been named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Special Teams Player of the Week. 

The LSWA solicits nominees from all 13 state collegiate football programs across all competition levels for its weekly offensive, defensive and special teams awards. Ingram was the sole special teams nominee.

Ingram, a sophomore from Shreveport, averaged 44.0 yards per punt, launching his three boots a total of 132 yards, including a 50-yard blast in a lopsided win over Langston (Okla.) on the road last Saturday night.

While LCU has gotten out to a 3-0 start, the  6-foot-3 Captain Shreve High School alum has had three kicks downed inside the opponents’ 20-yard line, has lifted two 50-plus yard bombs, and has sent a total of six punts sailing for an average distance of 44.7 yards. 

Ingram and teammates look forward to a Saturday night 6 o’clock homefield showdown with Wayland Baptist. at Wildcat Field.
