NCCU’s steady, field-position punter with proven MEAC chops
In the 2019 season, John Pecaro averaged 38.1 yards per punt, ranked fifth in the MEAC, and placed 19 punts inside the 20, which tells the real story: he’s a field-position specialist, not just a distance guy[3][7]. His profile points to reliability, experience, and situational punting savvy, with the kind of lower-drama special-teams value coaches love when hidden yards matter. He also earned North Carolina Central’s nod in the NFF Hampshire Honor Society in 2020, a nice signal of discipline and academic/leadership credibility[6].
