Pat Fleming brings veteran-level leg strength and hidden-field-position juice
In the 2026 season, Bowling Green’s punting situation centers on Pat Fleming’s ability to flip the field, with his profile rooted in leg strength, consistency, and the kind of placement work that wins hidden-yardage battles. His college résumé shows a career average of 39.9 yards per punt at Bowling Green, plus strong single-game flashes such as a 48.3-yard average with a 61-yard bomb against Kansas and multiple punts pinned inside the 20. That combination makes him a fit for teams that value discipline, touch, and momentum-swinging special teams more than sheer spotlight.
