The kid averaged 50.8 yards per punt on 4 punts, one of which went 69 yards. :clap:

He probably was the most positively consistent player on the squad all season long. Very dependable. Wish him well. Perhaps he gets a pro FA invite after the draft. At 6-3, 215, he has the size and obviously the leg strength and swing speed to compete.
Valpo Football, the place for Punters to get consistent action and work :)
TX, ya got that straight on. Over the last decade we have had three great punters that have gotten us out of holes that our offense had put us in. Standing O for Mattes, Niesner and Wood.

Even Brad "Appreciates a good Beacon" Pitt was standing for our punters.
Congrats to Evan. Have to imagine next one will be a transfer

So far two for two for Punters in the Portal.
We could even go way back to my time on campus with a Colorado State transfer that did well. For the life of me, I can't remember his name, but he loved to show off his CSU bowl win ring from the year prior.
