Blake Cain gives Western Carolina a battle-tested leg and record-book résumé
Blake Cain is a proven Western Carolina punter whose defining edge is consistency under pressure: his school-record career total reached 262 punts in 2011, and he finished that season with a 36.2-yard average and a long of 47 in his final game, while earlier school notes show he’d already set the program mark at 246 punts before extending it again. That kind of volume and durability matters because it signals trust, toughness, and a no-drama special-teams floor—exactly the sort of punter who quietly flips field position and fits teams that value reliability over flash.
