Nation's Top Freshman Punter in 2007 for Colorado Buffs
In the 2007 season, Matt DiLallo exploded as CU's freshman punter, leading all first-year players nationwide with a stellar 43.7-yard average on 47 punts—ranking him the only freshman in the top 40 overall—while pinning 14 inside the 20 (4 inside the 10), booming 8 over 50 yards, and posting a 38.5 net average. His elite leg strength from tight spots (44.9 avg inside own 25) and second-team Sporting News honors mark him as a game-changer who flips field position; a tremendous athlete with pro-level upside, he's a no-brainer fit for any special teams needing reliability and boom.
