Mitch McCarthy gives Indiana a big-legged, battle-tested punter with Big Ten efficiency
McCarthy is a 6-5 Australian punter whose biggest value is field-position control: across 37 career games at UCF and Indiana, he has averaged 43.0 yards per punt with a long of 64 and multiple kicks of 50-plus yards, while also landing 39 punts inside the 20. He’s a fit for teams that want a dependable, high-ceiling specialist with proven volume and poise; in 2025 he also dealt with a brief injury absence, but still ranked among the Big Ten’s better punters in average.
