Marshall Burton brings veteran leg strength and big-play punting pop to Northwestern State
Marshall Burton is a proven specialist for Northwestern State, with a career highlight of a 77-yard punt and a reputation as a versatile kicker/punter who can flip field position in a hurry. In the 2005 season, he averaged 48.4 yards on five punts and placed one inside the 20, showing the kind of leg talent that can quietly win hidden-yardage battles. The upside here is obvious: he’s a field-position weapon with experience and composure. The only catch is that current-season stats weren’t available in the source, so his present form needs a fresh check before projecting him as a fit.
