Aussie leg, big-boot upside for Kentucky
Matt Panton brings a strong punting profile and a proven ability to flip field position, highlighted by his 2017 Kentucky season when he averaged 42.3 yards per punt with a long of 71 and placed 23 punts inside the 20. He’s the kind of specialist who fits a team that values hidden yards, hang time, and directional precision over raw splash plays. The wildcard? He also comes with a quirky, Australian-rules background that can add a little extra creativity to the kicking game — useful if your special teams want more than just a boot and a prayer.
