Missouri State’s booming, battle-tested punter with NFL-level leg strength
In the 2024 season, Grant Burkett posted a 44.07-yard punting average, ranked 16th nationally, and landed 15 punts inside the 20 with nine kicks of 50-plus yards, including a 78-yarder at Illinois State[1][2]. He’s a high-end field-position weapon: four-time first-team all-conference caliber, an AP All-American over multiple seasons, and the kind of punter who can flip a game with both distance and placement[1][2]. If your team wants a steady specialist with proven big-leg upside and elite résumé value, he’s absolutely worth the attention[1][2].
