Jaren Van Winkle gives UT Martin rare two-way special teams value
Van Winkle is a valuable **K/P** option for UT Martin because he handled both kicking and punting in 2024, converting **13-of-19 field goals** and **54-of-57 extra points** while also averaging **41.3 yards on 70 punts**. He earned Big South-OVC Specialist of the Week honors after a strong outing against North Alabama, which supports the idea that he can swing games with consistency and workload flexibility. At **6-3, 200** and entering 2025 as a **redshirt senior**, he looks like a dependable, experienced fit for a team that wants one specialist who can cover multiple jobs.
