Quarterback isn’t the only position Arizona has a fierce competition at. The Wildcats also have an ongoing battle at punter and the current frontrunner in that race might surprise you.

“I think (Kyle) Ostendorp right now is probably the guy who’s leading the punting, but every day is a new day,” said linebackers coach Keith Dudzinski, who also coaches special teams.

Competing with Ostendorp is redshirt senior Jacob Meeker-Hackett and second-year freshman Tyler Loop. Loop, who like Ostendorp is on scholarship, looked like the favorite earlier in camp when he was booting balls over 60 yards with plenty of hang time.
