Thomas Bennett remains Tulsa’s elite field-flipping punter
In the 2018 season, Thomas Bennett was one of the nation’s best punters, averaging 46.6 yards per punt to rank fifth nationally and earning second-team All-Conference honors; he also placed 12 punts inside the 20 and twice showed the big-leg upside that changes field position in a hurry.[1][8][14] The differentiator here is consistency plus range: Tulsa’s own profile notes a 44.3 career average, 28 punts inside the 20, and 26 punts of 50+ yards, which is exactly the kind of hidden weapon that can quietly tilt close games.[1]
