Temple’s Intense Punter with 37.7 Avg and Backfield Resilience
Alex Starzyk, Temple Owls’ punter (P), delivered a 37.7-yard punting average and a 46-yard long in the 2017 season against Notre Dame, showcasing precision under pressure. Despite facing backfield disruption—like Cole Christiansen bating his kick in the Independence Bowl—Starzyk’s intensity and quick recovery stand out. No major injury history is recorded, and teammates describe him as fiercely competitive with a calm demeanor in chaos. His differentiator is resilience: he consistently executes after setbacks, making him a reliable fit for teams needing a punter who thrives in high-stress moments. While stats are from 2017, his mindset and consistency remain top-tier.
