Michael Hanna brings top-end leg strength to Gardner-Webb’s punting game
Hanna’s value is his **leg strength and field-position impact**: Gardner-Webb lists him as a punter who averaged 43.5 yards per punt on 46 attempts in the cited season, and ESPN lists him at 38.7 yards on 58 punts with a long of 61 and 16 punts inside the 20, showing both range and situational usefulness.[3][1] He profiles as a fit for teams that want a field-position weapon rather than just a volume punter, with enough evidence of big-kick ability to matter beyond raw averages.[3][1]
