Korey Durkee gives Washington a seasoned leg with proven length and field-position value
In the 2026 season, Korey Durkee is Washington’s punter, and the key thing that stands out is his established track record: he finished his Washington career with a 42.0-yard average, the third-best mark in program history, and hit a 62-yard long in his opener at Boise State. He’s the kind of special-teams piece coaches trust for consistency, hang time, and pinning opponents deep, not flashy highlight reels. Washington also listed him on its preseason Ray Guy Award watch list, which says the staff sees him as one of the better punters to watch.
