a dependable FAU punter with NFL-style leg strength and hidden athleticism
Ryan Rickel stood out at Florida Atlantic for his strong leg, with one season highlighted by a 42.4-yard punting average and another game showing 43.2 yards per punt, while reports also noted his effectiveness went beyond the raw numbers. He’s more than a distance specialist: FAU also used him on a fake-punt rushing play, which hints at confidence, poise, and field-awareness under pressure. If you need a punter who can flip field position and bring a little deception to special teams, Rickel looks like a smart, low-drama fit.
