Elite Punter with Iron Bearcat Grit and 42.7-Yard Average
John Lloyd, Cincinnati's standout punter, averaged 42.7 yards per punt in 13 games during the 2014 season—ranking 7th all-time for the program—while delivering consistent distance under pressure in a new system. Differentiators include his 'Iron Bearcat' designation for elite weight room performance in Winter 2024, reflecting unmatched intensity and physical dedication beyond the field. Though stats show his 57.5-yard punt vs. USF, his true value lies in reliability: he rarely shies from big moments, as seen in his steady 39.2-yard average in a road loss to Illinois. With a calm personality and fierce competitiveness, Lloyd is a perfect fit for teams needing a punter who combines technical precision with mental toughness and no injury history to worry about.
