a booming freshman punter who flips the field
Ettridge emerged in 2025 as Nevada’s standout special-teams weapon, averaging 44.7 yards per punt with a long of 62 and repeatedly pinning opponents deep, including a Mountain West-leading 17 punts inside the 20 by late October. His profile goes beyond the box score: Nevada and multiple analysts highlighted his ability to generate hang time, avoid touchbacks, and deliver field-position value right away, plus he even showed a little trick-play athleticism with a 12-yard rush for a first down. He looks like a strong fit for teams prioritizing hidden yardage and reliable field-position control.[1][3][7][12]
