Sam Houston’s booming leg built for hidden field position
Lachlan Edwards was a high-end Sam Houston punter with NFL-caliber leg strength, finishing his Bearkats career as the program’s all-time leader in punting average at 42.8 yards per kick and earning First-Team All-Southland honors in 2014 while ranking No. 6 nationally with a 44.4-yard average that season[2][7]. His calling card is field-flipping consistency — long punts, plenty of 50-yard blasts, and strong placement inside the 20 — plus the maturity of an international player who turned an Aussie rules background into a pro career[2][13].
