Week 8 Stats: 207 punting yards, 5 punts, 41.4 yards per punt, 1 inside-20, 1 touchback, 1 50+ yards
Bonini handled the punting duties for Central Connecticut on Saturday at Wagner, where he helped the defending champs craft a 24-17 come-from-behind overtime victory to remain undefeated in NEC play at 3-0. The local product from Enfield, CT booted five punts for a total of 207 yards to average 41.4 yards per attempt. In addition, Bonini placed one punt inside the 20-yard line while his game- and career-long 65-yard punt — his second 50-plus yarder of the season — resulted in a touchback. Bonini is the second Blue Devil to earn NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow’s Office Rookie of the Week honors as he joins kicker Jack Hennessey, who garnered the award after opening weekend.
