University of Charleston punter Brett Benes has once again found himself on the American Football Coaches Association Division II All-America team.
A first-team selection last season, Benes was named to the second team this year. The senior from Boca Raton, Florida, averaged 44.7 yards per punt in 2016. Of his 62 punts, 17 of them went at least 50 yards. He put 20 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line and had just one blocked. He also handled UC's placekicking duties, making nine of 12 field goals with a long of 50 yards and making 25 of 29 extra points.
Benes wasn't the only Mountain East Conference member on the list. West Virginia Wesleyan senior running back Michael Anderson was named to the first team. He rushed for 1,417 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2016, as well as led the Bobcats with 40 receptions for 299 yards and two more touchdowns.
