Marion High School senior Curran Lipsett has signed a national letter-of-intent with Southwest Minnesota State as a punter and placekicker.

Lipsett punted 13 times for a 43.4-yard average for the Indians last season. He had 52 kickoffs, with nine touchbacks, and also hit a 37-yard field goal.

Lipsett said four players could be competing for the punting and placekicking chores at Southwest Minnesota State next season. "It's going to be pretty wide open," he said.

Lipsett said he also considered Upper Iowa, Coe, Buena Vista, Dubuque and Wisconsin-Platteville.

Southwest Minnesota State is an NCAA Division II school that competes in the Northern Sun Conference.
