Blake Ochsendorf brings field-position value, not highlight-reel flash
In the 2024 season, LSU’s Blake Ochsendorf worked primarily as a pooch punter, averaging 40.2 yards on 12 punts with 7 downed inside the 20 and a long of 54 yards. He’s the kind of specialist coaches love when field position matters: experienced, steady, and capable of pinning opponents deep, though his LSU sample was smaller than his Louisiana Tech track record. He entered Baton Rouge after posting a 45.7-yard average in 2023 at Louisiana Tech, so the upside is real if LSU wants more than just safe punts.
