Logan Laurent brings rare kicker-punter versatility and proven big-leg production
In the 2017 season, Logan Laurent was one of UMass’s most dependable specialists, hitting 12 of 13 field goals, 23 of 25 extra points, and handling all 63 punts with a 42.7-yard average[5]. He had already shown a knack for distance, including a 48-yard field goal in 2015 and a career punting average of 42.6 yards over 82 punts entering that season[4]. The biggest differentiator here is versatility: he can cover kicking, punting, and kickoff duties, which gives a coaching staff roster flexibility and some sneaky value if you like a gritty, multi-role weapon[2][5].
