Butler’s steady-legged specialist Evan Giebel brings reliability and hidden value in the punt game
In the 2018 season, Evan Giebel handled 50 punts for Butler, averaging 37.9 yards with a long of 58, and he had already shown heavy workload usage in prior seasons as the Bulldogs’ trusted specialist[2][14]. His value is more than the raw average: Butler leaned on him for field-position control, and he also drew notice for onside-kick ability and composure in pressure situations, making him the kind of punt specialist who can quietly swing a game if your team wants a dependable, tactical weapon[9][10].
