John Stec brings veteran punting value to Akron
John Stec is a seasoned specialist whose best trait is dependable field-position control: in the 2008 season at Akron, he averaged 37.1 yards on 48 punts, with 20 fair catches and 12 punts downed inside the 20. That profile suggests a punter who may not always wow with raw distance, but does the hidden work coaches love—hang time, placement, and consistency under pressure. If your team wants a reliable leg that helps the defense start with an advantage, Stec is the kind of low-drama, high-utility fit worth caring about.[1]
