A pair of inside WR’s under the direction of Arceneaux had a major impact on the Thunderbird offense during the 2019 season. Lance Lawson caught 78 passes for 735 yards and three touchdowns. He was amongst the FCS leaders in catches all season long. In just seven games, Landen Measom caught 28 passes for 463 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 16.5 yards per catch.
Thunderbird punters found a lot of success during the 2019 season as well. Between Manny Berz and Brandon Schenks, they downed 13 punts inside the 20 yard line and had five punts travel further than 50 yards.
Both kicker Manny Berz and punter Rashaan Miller have very successful seasons for the Thunderbirds under his leadership in 2017. Berz finished the season with 41 PAT’s to his name and 14-of-18 on field goal attempts. Miller was named Big Sky Special Teams Player of the Week during the course of the season and was named Honorable Mention All-Big Sky following the conclusion of the season.
