Tyler Manship brings steady leg strength to Northern Arizona’s punt game
In the 2026 season, Tyler Manship has handled Northern Arizona’s punting duties with 7 punts for 271 yards, a 38.7-yard average, a long of 53, and 1 punt inside the 20, while also showing he can flip the field when the Jacks need it most.[1][12] The Redshirt Senior from Incline Village, Nevada, is a compact, experienced specialist at 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, and his value is less about flash than reliability, veteran poise, and the ability to deliver a timely boom punt in a tough spot.[13] He looks like a fit for teams wanting a seasoned, no-drama punter who can hold up under pressure and keep the hidden yardage battle respectable, even if the stat line doesn’t scream superstar.[1][12][13]
