Max Duffy is chasing history with average yards per punt this year
Max Duffy currently leads the nation in punting average at just over 51 yards per punt, and he’s on track to win the Ray Guy award, given annually to the best punter in college football. It’s a great start to Duffy’s junior season in Lexington, but I don’t think may people realize just how good it really is.
According to Sports-Reference.com’s College Football site, Duffy’s 51.2 yard average is the best since it began recording punt stats back in 2000. He is booming the ball farther than any other college punter in the last two decades of college punting!
