Dave Brytus Named Big East Special Teams Player of the Week
Sept. 3, 2007
PITTSBURGH--University of Pittsburgh junior punter Dave Brytus has been selected the Big East Conference's Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the Panthers' 27-3 victory over Eastern Michigan this past Saturday. Brytus (McDonald, Pa./West Allegheny) averaged a robust 45.4 yards on five punts in Pitt's season opener. He had a long of 56 yards and dropped one punt inside the 20-yard line.
The game marked his first game action since the 2005 season when he was at Purdue. Brytus transferred to Pitt last year and sat out the '06 season under NCAA guidelines. In his last active season with the Boilermakers in 2005, he averaged nearly 40 yards per punt and was on the Ray Guy Award Watch List. As a freshman in 2004, Brytus was selected the Sun Bowl's Most Valuable Special Teams Player when he averaged 48.9 yards on eight punts against Arizona State. Pitt returns to action this Saturday, Sept. 8, at Heinz Field when it hosts the Grambling State Tigers. Kickoff is set for noon.
