On October 29, 2011, during a game at Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field, Milo tied the record for the longest punt ever kicked in professional football when he punted the football 108 yards. The football was in the air over 65 yards, but rolled its way into the endzone for a point. After Eddie Johnson was released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Milo became the starting kicker for 2012. In 2013, Milo finished the season 46-for-52 with the longest being a 50-yard field goal. On September 5, 2013, Milo was named Special Teams Player of The Month for August 2013.
