South Alabama’s reliable, field-flipping punter with NFL-style frame and a live leg
In the 2024 season, Aleksi Pulkkinen became South Alabama’s trusted punter, handling 67 punts for 1,858 yards, averaging 41.3 yards per kick, placing 16 inside the 20, and avoiding a block. His best traits are consistency, hang-time control, and the ability to hit a true field-flipper when the Jaguars need it most; he also showed range with a 67-yard long. At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, he has the prototype build coaches like, and his rise into the starting role suggests a calm, dependable specialist who fits teams that value hidden-yardage warfare.
