Oscar Bird brings Australian polish and real field-flipping juice to Ole Miss
In the 2025 season, Ole Miss punter Oscar Bird averaged 46.0 yards on 41 punts, helped the Rebels rank third nationally in net punting at 43.6 yards per punt, and put 14 kicks inside the 20 with only one touchback[1]. The big differentiator is his pro-style background from Australian rules football, which shows up in his hang time, placement, and calm, repeatable operation under pressure[2][3]. He’s a strong fit for a team that values field position, hidden-yardage wins, and a punter who can flip the script without the drama—just the boot.
