Miami’s steady field-position weapon: Dylan Joyce keeps pinning opponents deep
Dylan Joyce enters the 2026 season as Miami’s third-year starting punter and a Ray Guy Award watch-list name after a strong 2025, when he averaged 44.4 yards on 54 punts with only six touchbacks and 23 punts inside the 20. He’s not just booming it — he mixes distance, hang time, and placement, highlighted by a 73-yard bomb and 13 punts of 50-plus yards last season. That kind of reliability is gold for a team built on hidden yards, and his track record suggests a calm, durable specialist who can tilt field position without much drama.
