Sam Gentry brings size and veteran savvy to the Lobos punter job
Sam Gentry is a 6-6, 229-pound New Mexico punter whose profile is built on length, experience, and a steady leg; in his career stats, he has 5 punts for 172 yards (34.4 average) with a long of 43 and no punts inside the 20 yet, while New Mexico’s own roster/stats pages have not shown active 2026 season punting totals as of early September 2026. He fits best as a field-position specialist with classic punter size, but the key question is consistency and hang time rather than flash—this is the kind of player coaches trust when they want clean, directional football and a calm presence on special teams.
