Shawn Powell was Florida State’s weaponized leg
In the 2011 season, Shawn Powell emerged as one of college football’s elite punters, averaging 47.0 yards per kick with 23 of 57 punts downed inside the 20, earning first-team All-ACC and consensus All-American honors. His 44.2-yard career average at Florida State remains the school’s best, and that combination of hang time, field-flipping distance, and consistency made him a legitimate hidden-value difference-maker. If you want a punter who can tilt field position and win the hidden-yardage battle, Powell fit the bill beautifully.
