Northwestern’s converted QB-turned-punter with a big-leg ceiling
Kubiuk is a former quarterback who won Northwestern’s backup punter job as a walk-on and later earned the starting role, giving him a rare athlete’s feel for the position and a competitive edge that coaches tend to value.[2][3] In his 2019 season, he showed genuine field-position value with a career-long 53-yard punt and multiple kicks pinned inside the 20, but he also missed the prior season with an injury, so durability is part of his story.[2][3] He profiles as a smart, resilient specialist with upside when he’s healthy and consistent.[2][3]
