Utah State’s Canadian leg specialist brings a proven leg and old-school consistency
Darryl Wheeler is a freshman punter for Utah State in the 2026 season, and the appeal is simple: he arrives with a documented big leg and a specialist pedigree. Utah State’s roster lists him at 5-foot-10, 189 pounds, and his signing bio says he was an all-Canada high school selection as a punter who averaged 46 yards per punt and hit a 46-yard field goal in high school. That profile suggests distance and versatility, which is exactly what you want from a hidden-yardage weapon. The big question is translation, but the upside is real for a field-position game that never stops cashing checks.
