Nebraska’s all-time punting hammer
Larson was a true field-position weapon for Nebraska, finishing his Cornhuskers career from 2001-2003 with 195 punts for 8,515 yards and a 43.7-yard average, which still stands out as elite production for the era[2][10]. He also earned All-America recognition and was praised as one of the Huskers’ best punters before moving on to an NFL career, signaling durability, leg strength, and big-game reliability rather than flashy box-score noise[12]. If you want a punter who can flip the field and keep pressure off the defense, Larson is exactly the kind of hidden-value specialist worth caring about[2][12].
