Rhett Thurman brings a big-leg punting profile to Central Arkansas
Rhett Thurman is a Central Arkansas punter who entered 2024 as part of a live competition and was specifically praised by the Bears’ staff for having the biggest punting leg on the roster. He looks like a developmental special-teams fit: a strong-legged, local product from Cabot with upside if he sharpens consistency, hang time, and field-flipping control. In a room replacing an all-conference punter, Thurman’s value is his ceiling—if your team wants raw leg strength and competition at specialist, he’s intriguing.
