USC’s steady left-footed punter brings size, polish, and old-school reliability
James Bermingham Jr. is listed by USC as a 6-4, 185-pound punter and was a backup walk-on in USC’s roster notes, with the program highlighting that he trained under former USC All-American punter Tom Malone[1]. In USC’s available historical notes, he is described as a left-footed punter with strong academics and a long-term developmental path, which points to technique, consistency, and football IQ over flash[1]. There are no current stats available in the roster record, so the key value here is profile fit: a disciplined specialist with Power Five pedigree and a coachable, low-drama background[1][2].
