Australian rookie punter Jake Stoeckel brings upside to Kent State
Stoeckel is a **young, first-year punter** for Kent State who already saw game action in 2025, handling the job in three games and averaging **31.4 yards on 9 punts** with a long of **41 yards**.[6][5] His value is more about *projection than production right now*: he has the size and special-teams profile to develop, and EA’s rating data suggests solid underlying tools for a specialist, including **84 kick power** and **73 kick accuracy**.[2] For a team, he looks like a developmental fit rather than an immediate impact weapon.[6][2]
