Matt Rinehart was a MAC-level weapon at punter for Kent State
Matt Rinehart’s profile is built on more than just leg strength: in the 2011 season, he led Kent State’s all-time punting average at 41.8 yards, and his 2011 average of 42.8 yards per punt set the program’s single-season record[1][4]. He was a two-time First-Team All-MAC selection and an Academic All-MAC honoree, which points to a reliable, disciplined specialist with strong field-position impact[1][5][7]. His standout traits were hang time, distance, and athleticism—exactly the kind of punter who flips the field and quietly tilts games[3].
