Mercyhurst’s steady punting weapon with pro-level leg strength
Hunter Pittman gives Mercyhurst a dependable field-position edge: in 2024 he averaged **41.6 yards per punt** on **25 punts**, with a long of **58 yards** and **1,040 total punting yards**. [1][2] As a junior-class punter, he profiles as a specialist who can flip the field and keep a defense out of long-yardage stress, which is exactly what coaches want from a hidden-value roster piece. [1][3] His differentiator is consistency and leg strength rather than flash, making him a solid fit for teams that value trust, hang time, and clean special-teams execution. [1][2]
