Hoffman, a second-team all-conference selection in 2004, ranked No.
3 in the nation last season with a 43.87 yard punting average, which
was tops in the Gateway. In 2003, Hoffman guided the Redbirds to a
No. 1 national ranking in net punting at 39.2 yards per kick.
Including Hoffman, nine players from the Gateway Football Conference
were recognized as I-AA.org selections, including
Western Kentucky defensive back Antonio Thomas and Missouri State
kicker Jon Scifres, who both earned first-team honors.
