The punt was the second-longest in Palomar history. During the season, he also had two other punts of 59 and 58 yards and a 76-yard punt nullified due to a penalty. He set the school single-game record against Orange Coast with five punts inside the 10-yard line. On the year, he finished with 16 punts inside the 20-yard line to match the school single-season mark. Forester was nearly perfect on extra point attempts (21-of-22) and he had three field goals.
