Big-leg upside with proven pedigree and rare two-way punting ability
Caleb McGrath enters North Dakota State as a junior punter with a strong résumé: he was a 2023 Eastview High School standout who averaged 40.4 yards per punt, earned Under Armour All-American honors, and was rated among the nation’s top punters as a recruit. He also brings a standout differentiator coaches love—he can punt with either leg—which adds versatility and keeps coverage teams honest. NDSU’s roster notes show no college stats yet, so the appeal is projection, polish, and special-teams upside rather than production, but his background suggests a high-floor fit for a program that values hidden-field-position wins.
