Emerging Iowa State Punter with High-Intensity Drive
Daniel Kuehl, Iowa State’s #16 punter from Sioux City, IA, is a high-intensity, data-driven athlete whose single recorded punt in the 2025 season averaged 18.0 yards—limited by early-season exposure but underscored by his fierce competitive fire and two-year high school kicking pedigree. Though stats are sparse, Kuehl’s differentiator is his relentless intensity and personality: he treats every punt like a playoff moment, with no injury history and a mindset that thrives under pressure. He’s a strong fit for teams seeking a punter with raw potential, coachability, and the grit to elevate when called upon. Why care? He’s the quiet storm Iowa State’s special teams is betting on to grow into a game-changer.
