Kyle Negrete brings physicality and directional punting value to USC
Negrete is best known as a tough, versatile punter who can flip field position and add hidden value on special teams; in 2011 at USC, he averaged 40.1 yards on 39 punts, with 19 punts pinned inside the opponent’s 20, and he also showed the willingness to contribute physically on fake plays and coverage situations.[3][4] He is the kind of specialist coaches like because he combines reliability with competitive edge, though the publicly available information here is older and does not provide a current 2026 performance snapshot.[2][3][4]
