Kye Walford is a steady punting option with a big leg and room to rise
In the 2025 season, Kye Walford handled 5 punts for Lamar, averaging 36.4 yards with a long of 48, and the Cardinals listed him in a specialist competition that signaled real trust in his leg talent.[1][2] He looks like a clean, repeatable punter with upside rather than a volume guy yet, which matters if your team wants consistency, hang time, and developmental ceiling over flashy numbers. Lamar’s staff also tracked him among returning specialists, a nice hint that he’s viewed as a credible part of the kicking room, not just a camp body.[2]
