Pitt's Battle-Tested Punter with UFC Grit and Record-Breaking Legs
Dave Brytus, Pitt Panthers punter from 2007-2008, was a special teams standout averaging 45.4 yards per punt in his 2007 opener (Big East Player of the Week) and delivering clutch boots like 44.9 yards at Virginia with a 64-yard bomb; his differentiator? A Pennsylvania Golden Gloves boxing champ and two-time state karate king turned UFC fighter, bringing unmatched toughness and precision to flip field position. Signed by Ravens in 2009 as undrafted FA—ideal for teams needing a reliable, intense specialist who thrives in big moments like the 2008 Sun Bowl shutout.
