a punter who turned hang-time into a weapon for New Mexico
Ben Skaer was a major special-teams differentiator for New Mexico, headlined by a 2013 season in which he averaged 45.8 yards per punt, led the Mountain West, ranked seventh nationally, and set a school single-season record. He also showed real value beyond raw leg strength: 20 of his 47 punts pinned opponents inside the 20, and team notes praised his poise under pressure, directional kicking, and leadership of the special-teams unit. If you want a field-flipping punter with proven high-end consistency, Skaer absolutely fits the bill.
