Southern Miss punter Luke Johnson: a leg built for field position
In his Southern Miss career, Luke Johnson emerged as a high-end punter with a 42.7-yard career average and a senior-year peak of 44.9 yards per punt in 2005, plus 11 punts of 50+ yards and 13 punts inside the 20 that season[2][3]. He was the No. 1 punter in Conference USA and ranked No. 7 nationally in yards per punt in 2005, with a strong track record of net-impact punts and kickoff duties that made him a true special-teams weapon[3].
