Paxton Robertson gives Western Carolina a steady, versatile leg with proven FCS range
Robertson’s value is his versatility: Western Carolina has used him as a kicker, kickoff specialist, and at times a punter, and in 2024 he made 6 of 10 field goals while hitting 15 of 16 extra points; ESPN also shows a punting sample of 40 career punts at 38.9 yards per punt. He flashed more than just volume in 2021, earning SoCon and STATS Perform Special Teams Player of the Week after averaging 43.0 yards on eight punts with five inside the 20 and three 50-plus-yard boots, which points to a live leg and game-control upside[1][7].
