Jared Wheatley brings veteran leg strength, but Duke hasn’t used him in game action
In the 2024 season, Jared Wheatley was a graduate-transfer punter at Duke with a steady résumé from Vanderbilt and Ohio, where he punted 24 times for 865 yards in his career with 11 inside the opponent 20 and zero touchbacks. He profiles as a disciplined, placement-first specialist with proven field-position value and a clean ball-security track record; the catch is that he did not see game action at Duke, so he reads more like experienced depth than an immediate impact answer. If a team wants a calm, fundamentally sound punter with senior-man mindset, he fits.
