Patrick Cleary gives Stony Brook a steady leg with upside
Cleary has opened the 2026 season as a reliable sophomore punter for Stony Brook, averaging 41.6 yards on 9 punts with a long of 57 and 3 punts inside the 20 through two games in 2026. He already showed a game-to-game ceiling, jumping from 40.0 yards per punt at Delaware State to 42.8 against Lindenwood. What stands out is the profile: he’s a clean, field-position-focused punter with legit hang-time potential and a strong 2025 resume at Judson, where he averaged 42.2 yards and pinned 21 punts inside the 20. He looks like a fit if your team values consistency, placement, and hidden-yardage wins.
