EMU’s old-school field-flipper with a cannon leg
Nick Avondet is best remembered as a standout Eastern Michigan punter, not a modern-era stat sheet guy; in 2000 he earned All-MAC honorable mention and finished his EMU career with 10,618 punting yards and a 40.5-yard career average, which still ranked fourth in school history. His differentiators were volume, durability, and leg strength — he was a fixture in the lineup and even delivered EMU’s single-game punting explosion of 642 yards. If your team wants a dependable, tough-minded punter who can change field position, Avondet absolutely fits the bill.
