Cowboys punter pushes for Heisman

FRISCO, Texas — Everyone can get a real kick out of this Heisman Trophy campaign.

There is already a website with some cool classic graphics and at least one #sinor4heisman T-shirt — the one Zach Sinor wore during Big 12 media days. Oklahoma State's 5-foot-10 junior punter, sporting a Fu Manchu moustache, even handed out colorful pamphlets touting his credentials for college football's top individual award.

“I'm supporting him 100 percent,” said Mason Rudolph, 22-6 as Oklahoma State's starting quarterback and a top Heisman contender himself.

“He only has a certain amount of money like all of us, so he has to budget the way he can, and use a bunch of his old Instagram pictures,” linebacker Chad Whitener said of the trifolded, one-page pamphlet. “It was good, and all the stats on there are incredible.”

According to the handout, opponents hate America's No. 1 punter and animals love him — there is a picture of him with a dolphin and another with him getting licked on the face by his dog.

Sinor punted 56 times last year, and an FBS-best 63 percent of those were downed inside the 20-yard line.

Opponents had only 15 yards on punt returns all season, less than one yard per game.

When told he would be one of the four players representing Oklahoma State at media days — a very rare occurrence for a punter — he wanted to take full advantage to boost the Heisman Trophy campaign that he kicked off with a video last month.

“I took it and ran with it,” he said.
