Maryland’s steady-legged punter with veteran polish
Michael Tart is a Maryland punter/holder known for reliability, composure, and all-around special-teams value rather than flash. In Maryland’s 2015 season, he averaged 38.2 yards per punt on 55 punts, put 13 punts inside the 20, and had a long of 70 yards, showing a strong leg with useful field-position impact. His biggest differentiator is versatility: he also served as the No. 1 holder and had prior experience as a kicker, which makes him a clean fit for teams that value consistency, trust, and low-drama execution on special teams.
