Career Stats: FoxSports.com Player Page
2005: Was a surprise pickup when the Vikings gave up on veteran punter Darren Bennett. Spent training camp with Seattle – one of the Vikings’ preseason opponents – and made an impression on the Vikings staff with the hang time on his punts. Didn’t disappoint, averaging 44.1 yards per punt, pinning opponents inside the 20-yard line 17 times and had only six touchbacks.
College: Was one of three finalists for the Ray Guy Award (given to the nation’s top punter) as a senior at UCLA. As a junior, he set a school record for punts (91) and punting yardage (3,908) while averaging 42.9 yards per kick.
Personal: Was a first-team High School All-America punter as named by USA Today. As a high school senior, kicked a 60-yard field goal and played in the California-Texas High School All-Star Game and CaliFlorida Bowl. He and his wife Isabel live in Eden Prairie.
