RUSTON, La. – Louisiana Tech sophomore wide receiver/punt returner
Smoke Harris has been named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) Co-Special Teams Player of the Week.
Â
Harris registered a 67-yard punt return, the longest of his career, in LA Tech's 24-17 conference-opening victory over North Texas. It was the longest punt return by a Bulldog since 2011 when Craig Johnson had an 82-yard punt return. Harris, a native of St. Francisville, La., returned the punt to the North Texas two-yard line which allowed Tech to score a 21-yard field goal. He finished the game with three punt returns for 81 yards.
Â
LA Tech steps out of conference for the last time, playing at No. 23 NC State on Saturday, Oct. 2. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. CT at Carter-Finley Stadium. The matchup will be broadcast on ESPN+.
