Former University of Arkansas At Pine Bluff football player Jamie Gillan had a big day punting the football for the Cleveland Browns in their second preseason win Saturday.

The Scottish Hammer showed why he earned the nickname, as Gillan launched a 74-yard punt (click to watch) in the first quarter of the 21-18 win for the Browns. He also had a 44-yard punt in the third quarter, and a 38-yard punt in the fourth quarter. He averaged 52.0 yards on three punts in the game, with the 74-yarder downed inside the 20. He also was the holder on an extra point and field goal attempt.

Gillan, who signed as a free agent following the NFL Draft, averaged 42.0 yards on two punts, including one inside the 20, as the Browns opened the preseason with a 30-10 win over Washington.

In two preseason games, Gillan is averaging 48.0 yards on five punts.

In 2018, Gillan led the SWAC with an average of 42.9 yards per punt to rank 13^th in FCS football with a net average of 37.5 yards.  A total of 19 punts traveled more than 50 yards, and 27 of his punts were down inside the opponents' 20-yard line.  Gillan also had 31 touchbacks, which ranked 16^th nationally and allowed only 17.4 yards per return.  Gillan earned first-team All-SWAC honors at both punter and kicker.

The Browns continue the preseason Friday at Tampa Bay.
