Rhode Island's Dylan Shank brings a strong leg and proven clutch pedigree
Shank is a reliable specialist with real upside: at Rhode Island he has handled both kicking and punting duties, including a 50-yard punt in 2023 and a 42.7-yard punting average on three spring-game attempts in 2025, with two kicks pinning opponents inside the 20.[2][11] He arrived with a reputation for big-moment composure, earning Second Team All-State honors and making two game-winning field goals in high school playoff games.[3] For a roster needing a multi-use, pressure-tested kicker/punter, he looks like a practical fit rather than a flash-in-the-pan bet.[3][11]
