veteran punter known for field-position control and big-game leg strength
DeFatta was a field-position specialist for Middle Tennessee, highlighted by a career-best 53.0-yard punting average in one game and a reputation for keeping opponents pinned deep, including strong work inside the 20-yard line. His value goes beyond raw distance: he combined consistency, placement, and special-teams reliability, which are exactly the traits coaches want in a punter who can flip the field. For a team needing hidden-yardage production and steady execution, he profiles as a smart, low-drama fit.
