UC Davis’s linebacker-turned-punter who became a Division II standout
Shibel’s calling card is versatility and impact: UC Davis recruited him as a linebacker, then converted him to punter, where he quickly grew into one of the best at the Division II level. In the 2004 season, he had a 42.1-yard punting average and showed the ability to flip field position with long kicks of 52 and 51 yards. That background suggests a tough, coachable player with unusual adaptability and leg strength, making him a fit for teams that value field-position specialists with a competitive edge.
