South Carolina’s record-setting punter with NFL-caliber leg strength
Charlton was a standout South Carolina punter whose calling card was booming leg strength and field-flipping range; the Gamecocks list him as the school’s career punting average leader at 45.5 yards, and The State noted he was an unusually tall 6-foot-4 punter who helped a unit that ranked 10th nationally in net punting in his final college season[5][4]. He was widely viewed as a reliable weapon rather than just a volume specialist, which is why he drew NFL attention and reserve/futures interest after college[3][4].
