Pitt’s freshman punter with legit national upside
Kaemon Tijerina enters Pittsburgh as a redshirt freshman punter with real pedigree: Pitt lists him as a 2025 walk-on, while recruiting services pegged him as a five-star specialist and the No. 3 punter in the Class of 2025. His calling card is field-position value—strong enough high-school leg, multi-camp validation, and enough athletic versatility to also play tight end in a pinch. He’s still unproven at the college level, so the fit question is about projection, but the tools and specialist rankings suggest a high-upside addition if Pitt wants a long-term field-flip machine.
