Matt Araiza punting his way into the NCAA history books

Since 2013, there have been two punts in the NFL that have traveled more than 80 yards.

In a span of two weeks, San Diego State’s punter Matt Araiza tied that stat. He had a punt of 86 yards against San Jose State and an 81-yard punt against Air Force. His punt against Air Force — from his own end zone — traveled 84 yards in the air from where he was standing.

Think about that; his punt traveled 84 yards in the air.

The ball sailed well over the head of the Air Force punt returner and landed on the Air Force 18-yard line before coming to rest and downed at the Air Force 12-yard line.
