Kansas State senior wide receiver Tyler Lockett was honored for his efforts in the return game lastSaturday in the Wildcat’s win over UTEP. He was named the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week, the conference office announced.

Lockett collected 143 punt-return yards, including a 58-yard touchdown, and 256 all-purpose yards to lead Kansas State to a 58-28 win over the Miners. The 143 punt-return yards were the second most in school history, and 29 yards short of tying the school record of 172. The touchdown was his first career punt-return touchdown.
