Cornell’s volume punter: Mike Baumgartel brings leg strength, field-position value
Mike Baumgartel was a long-time Cornell punter whose defining value was consistency and field position: he set Cornell’s career record with 244 punts and 8,774 punting yards, and his 37.0-yard career average shows reliable volume over four seasons. His profile fits a team that wants a steady specialist who can flip the field, even if he is not a booming distance-only punter. The main differentiator is trustworthiness in a high-repetition role, which matters most to coaches who prioritize hidden yardage and discipline over flash.
