Austin Dunlap is a field-flipping weapon for Southeastern Louisiana
In the 2023 season, Southeastern Louisiana punter Austin Dunlap was one of the FCS’s better hidden gems: he led the Southland Conference with a 43.9-yard punting average, ranked seventh in FCS, and was named the 2023 Southland Conference Football Student-Athlete of the Year[4][11]. He also landed first-team All-Southland honors again and was a three-time Special Teams Player of the Week, which signals consistent trust, not just one flashy leg[4][11]. What makes him appealing is the combo of distance and control—he finished among the national leaders in active career punting average and repeatedly helped flip field position for a winning program[4][7].
