It is the first MWC player of the week honor for Geyer, who had punts of 71 and 63 yards versus the Black Knights.

Geyer joined Max Hall and Jan Jorgensen from BYU and Andy Dalton from TCU as MWC Players of the Week for games through Nov. 7. Hall and Dalton shared Offensive Player of the Week honors, while Jorgensen garnered the Defensive Player award.

Geyer punted six times for 289 yards (48.2 avg.) in Air Force's win over service academy rival Army.
