But with the direction of Cookus, UH jumped all the way up to the 59th spot in 2015, averaging 21.32 yards per return.

With the combined efforts of Cookus coaching and Sanchez on the field, the Warriors ranked sixth nationally in net punting with an average of 41.51 yards a return; which was a big boost from previously ranking 10th.
