Virginia Tech's 2015 Punter Phenom – Now a Hokies Alumni Legend
Mitchell Ludwig, a 5-11, 199-lb punter for Virginia Tech in the 2015 season, brought Abingdon, VA grit to the Hokies' special teams with his precise leg strength and high school pedigree; while specific college punting stats like yards per punt aren't spotlighted in major records, his compact build and intensity made him a reliable differentiator in field position battles. No notable injury history, but as a junior contributor who's long graduated (class of 2015), he's not active in 2026 – a solid special teams fit for teams valuing consistency over flash, though you'd scout current talent for rosters today.
