Starting punter since he was a redshirt freshman and the only player in the history of the MAC to be a first team All-Conference selection four seasons in a row. Finished his senior season averaging 45.6 yards on 50 punts, with a long of 74 yards. Placed 16 punts inside the 20 yard line last year. Averaged 44.3 yards as a junior with his most productive season coming as a freshman when he averaged 45.3 yards punting the ball with a long of 73 yards. Also saw action kicking off for his team.

Nice-sized punter with a strong leg. Quickly gets the ball off his foot, extends through his punts and kicks moon shots that get great hang time. The ball perfectly spirals through the air and returners have great difficulty timing the catching of the punt. Has been consistent throughout his career and besides having a strong leg, he is reliable under pressure. Not as good as former MAC punter Brad Maynard, who was chosen by the Giants in the third round of the '97 draft, but still a quality kicker that should hear his name called late in the proceedings. Late Sixth Round.
