Conor Hunt gives Rice a steady, field-position-first punter
In the 2024 season, Conor Hunt handled Rice’s punting duties and later shifted into a short-field specialist role, showing the kind of snap-to-snap reliability coaches love: 39.3 yards per punt on 54 kicks, with nine downed inside the 20 and only one touchback. He’s also been more than a specialist, serving as the holder on all placekicks and bringing strong academic character—an Environmental Science major with a 3.257 GPA. The fit? If a team wants discipline, control, and hidden-yardage value more than pure boom-or-bust leg power, Hunt is a very tidy get.
