1. Matt Dodge (East Carolina) 53

A punter with a massive leg, averaging 45.8 yards per punt this years, and 40+ yards per punt in 3 seasons of his career. He has still managed to pin a ton of kicks inside the 20, pinning 68 of his 220 kicks inside the 20 over the last 3 years. He also has nailed several punts of 70 or more yards, something no one else in this class can say.

2. Zoltan Mesko (Michigan) 51

Probably the biggest punter in the world at 6-5 238, he’s also consistent as well averaging 41.6 yards per punt, 41.1 yards per punt, 43.0 yards per punt, and 44.5 yards per punt in his 4 year career at Michigan.

3. Robert Malone (Fresno State) 48

One of the nations leading punter this year, with a 45.2 yards per punt average despite pinning 17 of 44 within the 20. He averaged 42.8 in 2008.

4. Jeremy Boone (Penn State) 44

Averaged 43.0, 43.0, and 43.3 yards per punt over the last 3 years, so you can say he’s consistent. 61 of 151 within the 20 is extremely impressive, over 40%!

5. Brent Bowden (Virginia Tech) 40

Averaged 43.8 yards per punt this year, but only 42.2 for his career, and never punted one longer than 60 yards, so his leg isn’t the stronger. It is accurate though as he has pinned 72 of 214 within 20 yards in his career, about 34%.
