AP Second-Team All-American Punter with 45.8-Yard Single-Season Record
Jake Ryder, Towson’s senior punter, is an AP Second-Team FCS All-American who set the school’s single-season punting record at 45.8 yards on 42 punts in 2016, ranking second nationally in FCS punting average that year. His differentiator is elite distance control paired with consistency under pressure, evidenced by his record-setting performance and All-American honor. While his standout season was in 2016, his reputation as a high-intensity, reliable leg makes him a strong fit for teams needing a punter who can flip field position. No public injury history is noted, and his accolades suggest a poised, competitive personality suited for critical game situations.
