Tom Weston has emerged as Minnesota’s high-end field-position weapon
In the 2025 season, Weston was Minnesota’s primary punter and holder, averaging 42.6 yards on 65 punts with just four touchbacks and 23 punts pinned inside the 20, earning All-Big Ten Third Team recognition from the media.[2][4] His value goes beyond the box score: he combines reliable hang time and directional control with enough leg strength to flip the field, and his quick rise from Ouachita Baptist to the Big Ten suggests a confident, adaptable specialist who can help a team win the hidden-yardage battle.[2][4]
