San Jose State kicker Matthew Mercurio was named Mountain West Specialist of the Week, as announced by the conference on Monday morning.
It is the second time this season the redshirt freshman has won the award.
Also twice this season, Mercurio has tied a school-record with four field goals made.
He went 4-for-5 against the University of New Mexico on Oct. 5, then split the uprights on all four attempts at Army West Point on Oct. 26.
Mercurio has now made his last 10 field goals dating back to the New Mexico game.
He sits 13-of-16 for the season.
