Northern Colorado’s steady punter brings hidden field-position value
Tanner Ellingsen’s calling card is field position: in the 2013 season, he punted in all 12 games for Northern Colorado, averaged 36.4 yards per punt in high school, forced 12 fair catches, and placed 15 punts inside the 20, with a season-long 60-yard punt at Wyoming. He also handled kickoff duty, showing a versatile special-teams skill set. At 6-foot-1 and 169 pounds, he profiles as a lean specialist who can help a team win the hidden-yardage battle, especially if you want a reliable punter with proven touch and game-by-game workload tolerance.[1]
