MOSCOW, Idaho – Idaho sophomore punter Cade Coffey was named a second-team All-American by STATS Tuesday. Coffey also picked up honorable mention accolades on the HERO Sports Sophomore All-America Team.
 
Coffey, an All-Big Sky First Team selection, averaged 44.1 yards per punt to rank fifth in the FCS and help Idaho net 40 yards per punt – the best mark in the Big Sky and second best in the country. The Rathdrum, Idaho, native booted 19 kicks of at least 50 yards, including a career-long 80-yard punt against Southern Utah that is tied for the second-longest punt of the year, nationally.
 
Coffey was a USA Today Freshman All-America selection in 2017 at the FBS level. He is the latest in a long line of decorated Vandal punters. Coffey is just the fourth different starting punter since 2006, following Austin Rehkow (2013-16), Bobby Cowan (2009-12) and T.J. Conley (2006-08) – each of whom earned All-America recognition during their careers.
 
He is Idaho's first All-America punter at the FCS level since Tom Sugg in 1991.
