Iowa’s one-season punt artisan who flipped the field
In the 2016 season, Ron Coluzzi gave Iowa a steady left-footed field-flipper, averaging 41.1 yards per punt with 24 punts downed inside the opponent’s 20 and earning third-team All-Big Ten honors. He wasn’t just a leg—he brought transfer experience, kickoff value, and a reputation for clutch special-teams reliability, including a Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week nod. If you want a punter who can manage territory, hang time, and pressure without drama, Coluzzi checked those boxes.
