While playing for the Leathernecks of Western Illinois, Scifres was the only punter from NCAA Div 1-AA (now called the Football Championship Division) to become a 2002 finalist of the Ray Guy award, given to the nation's top punter. He set a school and conference record with an 89-yard punt against Southwest Missouri State in 2000. Scifres also kicked a game-winning 56-yard field goal in his first career FG attempt in 1999. Two-time First-team All-American selection by Football Gazette, Three-time All-conference selection, Seven-time National player of the week, and Five-time Conference player of the week.

Scifres is among the top punters in the NFL today. He’s earned a reputation for pinpoint accuracy and high punts that are rarely returned by the opposition.

After posting a career-high average of 46.1 yards per punt in 2007, Scifres is now tied with his mentor and good friend Darren Bennett for the highest career average in team history (43.8 yards per punt). Scifres’ 46.1-yard average was the second-highest for a single-season, trailing only Bennett’s 46.2-yard season in 2000. Since taking over the punting duties in 2004, Scifres has backed that up with a 38.7-yard net punting average.
