As a Freshman in 2017, Zach Feagles averaged 38.6 yards per punt. Twenty-five of Feagles 74 punts landed inside the opponents’ 20 yard-line. That was four more than second-team All-ACC punter Justin Vogel had for the Miami football team in 2016. Their percentages of punts inside the 20 were about the same.
The punter can be an extremely underrated part of a football team’s success. Watch the then San Diego Chargers victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the 2008 NFL Playoffs to see how a punter can almost single-handedly tip the field position in a game.
