Ryan Lazzeri is Penn’s steady-boot special-teams anchor
Ryan Lazzeri’s profile is built on reliability and field-position value: Penn’s fact book lists him among the program’s all-time punting leaders, and coverage from his playing days highlighted strong net punting and limited return opportunities. In the 1999 season, he averaged 35.8 yards per punt with a 37.4-yard net average and only 15 of 48 punts returned, showing a punter who helped Penn win the hidden-yardage battle. He looks like the kind of specialist who fits a team that values consistency, discipline, and flipping the field.
