Chris Hagerup was a freshman All-American punter who flipped field position for Indiana
In the 2008 season, Indiana’s Chris Hagerup emerged as a legit weapon at punter, averaging 42.4 yards per kick, landing 13 of 61 punts over 50 yards, and pinning 14 inside the 20 while earning freshman All-America recognition and honorable mention All-Big Ten honors[2][4]. He also showed game-changing leg strength with a Big Ten-long 67-yarder and a knack for rising to pressure situations, which makes him appealing if your team wants a field-position specialist with proven upside[2]. One caveat: he was limited in spring 2009 while recovering from ACL surgery, so durability and return-to-form matter in the evaluation[4].
