Javon Tracy Shocks Big Ten with Punt TDs | Minnesota Golden Gophers Football News

Javon Tracy just rewrote the record books—literally. In his first-ever punt return game, the Minnesota wideout exploded for two touchdown returns (87 and 69 yards) and shattered school records with 167 yards on just four returns. He became the first Gopher to score twice on punt returns in a single game—and the first player in Big Ten history to do it in debut as a punt returner. With an average that’s second-best since 1977, Tracy earned Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week, marking the first time a non-kicker/punter from Minnesota has won the award since 2018. This isn’t just a breakout—it’s a seismic shift for Gophers special teams. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
