Nebraska freshman punter Caleb Lightbourn was honored by the Big Ten on Monday morning as the conference’s Freshman of the Week for his performance against Oregon.

Lightbourn had his finest day as a Husker punter, averaging 47.2 yards on his five punts and placing three of his five kicks inside the 20 in Saturday’s 35-32 win over the Ducks. Lightbourn’s final three kicks were all inside the Oregon 20-yard line, including a career-best 58-yarder in the fourth quarter. Lightbourn and the Husker punt coverage team combined for a net 46.2 yards on his punts against the Ducks, a team which ranked 19th in the country in punt returns entering Saturday’s game.
