a proven UTEP punter with NFL-style leg strength
Bryce Benekos was a high-volume, high-output punter for UTEP, averaging 44.1 yards on 62 punts in 2004 with a long of 74 and 2 punts inside the 20, while his career average across four seasons was 41.2 yards per punt.[2][1] At 6-5 and 222 pounds, he had the size and leg strength that stand out, and reports from the program framed him as the clear favorite to win the starting job when UTEP needed stability on special teams.[4][3]
