Kansas’s steady, walk-on punter with proven leg talent
Reis Vernon has been a dependable Kansas punter who earned walk-on status and brings a strong leg, solid coordination, and versatility from his kicking background. In his college career, ESPN lists him at 122 punts for a 39.5-yard average, while Kansas notes a 2022 game in which he averaged 43 yards on three punts. His differentiator is reliability and multi-sport-style athleticism rather than elite booming numbers, making him a fit for a team that values consistency, field-position discipline, and a low-drama specialist who has already earned coaching trust.
