Oregon’s former punter with a clean, disciplined boot
In the 2006 season, Aaron Knowles averaged 40.4 yards on 27 punts for Oregon, showing a steady leg and reliable touch that made him more than just a field-position placeholder. He was a compact 6-foot, 175-pound punter who paired consistency with academic recognition, and one Oregon recap noted he averaged 38.3 yards over his final six punts with no returns before ceding the job late that year. For teams valuing control, hang time, and low-drama execution, that’s the kind of profile that quietly wins coaches over.
