Big-leg Michigan punter with boom-or-bust notoriety
Blake O’Neill stood out at Michigan for elite leg strength and field-flipping upside, including an 80-yard punt and a 43.3-yard average on three punts at Utah in his Michigan debut season, but his profile is also defined by the high-pressure miscued punt that ended the 2015 Michigan State game and drew intense public scrutiny.[2][4][1] For a roster fit, he represents a specialist with clear explosive ability and the temperament to keep talking after a mistake, though the long-term value depends on consistency and snap/operation trust as much as raw distance.[8][6]
