Lester Coleman remains one of UVA’s most dependable punters
Lester Coleman is a proven Virginia specialist whose calling card is consistency: Virginia lists him as the Cavaliers’ third all-time leading punter with a 42.9-yard career average, and ESPN records 126 career punts with a long of 63 and 42.9 yards per punt. That profile matters because it signals a reliable field-position weapon rather than a boom-or-bust leg, which is exactly what teams want from a punter. He fits best for programs valuing steady execution, experience, and hidden-yardage impact over flash.
