Elite JMU Punter with 41.4 Avg, 73-Yard Pop, and All-Sun Belt Honors
Ryan Hanson, the 6'4" James Madison punter, finished his 2024-25 career ranked tied for third in punt average (41.4 yards) with a 73-yard long and 17 punts inside the 20, earning Third Team All-Sun Belt honors and preseason recognition as a top national punter. Known for his explosive 'pop' and intensity that carried JMU to key wins like the 20-9 victory over Gardner-Webb, Hanson’s rare size and consistency make him a high-impact fit for any team needing reliable field-position control. Though he lost eligibility after the 2024-25 season, his intensity, personality, and proven big-game performance (including a 70-50 win vs. UNC) define him as a leader who elevates teammates beyond stats.
