Mitch Meindel is still a gold-standard North Dakota punter with elite leg strength
Mitch Meindel’s North Dakota profile is built on proven field-position impact: in his UND career, he averaged 41.7 yards on 48 punts, landed 19 inside the 20, and blasted a 62-yard long boot, while earning Big Sky Special Teams Player of the Week honors in 2015.[1][2][9] His differentiator is consistency plus touch, not just raw distance — the kind of punter who can flip the field, protect hidden yardage, and quietly win possession battles. For a team that values special teams leverage and veteran poise, he’s exactly the kind of weapon coaches love and opponents remember.
