Matt Araiza - Best Punter in College Football ᴴᴰ

Matt Araiza Highlights
best punter college in football history longest punts ever punter big hits

[@mattkadzialko8764]

I just had to come see for myself after Pat McAfee was talking him up. Holy shit.

[@Chozin1]

He literally ripped that one from in his end zone and it landed past the 20 yard line . Like it was literally in air for 80 fucking yards

[@mikeratkiewicz6720]

We might see a punter taken in the 3rd round. This guy is a game changer being able to flip field positions like that. He will give your defense an extra 10 yards every drive.

[@mikeratkiewicz6720]

Talking with my buddy this morning about him and we both projected late second or early third round. There's never been a weapon like him.

[@seamuslewin4325]

first round,,,....

[@kevinmarrero5013]

Miami needs this guy

[@themyriad0574]

Important to note he's not 1st in the country in net punting yards (3rd) and also the guy second in total yards (avg) is just half a yard below him. So, it's not like he's breaking records by obscene margins. The guy at Colorado State is averaging 51.7 yards per punt, and the guy at Rutgers still has yet to kick a touchback this season. Araiza has 13 touchbacks. He's very good at flipping the field, but needs a lot of work in the finesse category. In the NFL you have to be just as good at pinning a team deep as you are at punting the ball a mile.

[@padraig5335]

@@themyriad0574 Isn't Colorado state in the mountains though? The high altitude could be the reason for some of his extra distance.

[@michaelmay8140]

Had an old high school coach once tell me "the single most important play in all of football is punt." It can change or control the game in a instant. This kid is special. A leg like that is vital for any NFL team. I could see him drafted by the fourth round.

It doesn't even look like he's kicking it that hard. Wow.

[@JustinFernDesign]

Seriously! The majority of elite kickers you see their leg extends so far up that their foot is near the facemask, while also hopping a solid foot or two. He looks like he's doing half of that.

[@louisfiorina7497]

​@@JustinFernDesign You can just hear the insane speed he hits it with, it just generates different force. His mechanics are amazing, his leg winds up like a goddamn trebuchet and the ball comes out like a cannon as a result of it. You can just hear it at 3:00

[@djrom66]

I watched the 80+ yarder by Araiza at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs. There was no wind aiding this kick. The ball just flies off of his leg like crazy. He might be worth a second round pick as he is just a game changer. Might be the greatest punter ever,and he can also boom field goals.

It really gets the juices flowing when I can hear the sincere astonishment of a Punter's performance. I love special Teams. They are the most exciting and potentially game changing plays in a game and why as good player or coach it is best to avoid them and then do your best to minimalize a spectacular play. This kid has a CANNON for a leg. And after watching , he can clearly alternate punts and has different ones for certain situations. which puts him ahead of all other punters at his level by years and will be the reason he is drafted super early compared to other kickers and shit.

[@TreyBrady]

If he can dial in his direction and situational awareness, and then mix that with his ridiculous power, he’ll be the greatest to ever do it. No question.

Bro, he does. He hits long field goals accurately as well. Not only are his punts insane, but their accurate. He’s not just booting every ball, he’s putting as much heat on it that he needs to, to keep the ball just out of the end zone. If that’s not good enough for you, he highlights a highlight by then running down the field & making a tackle on the punt returner. I mean…nuff said…

@@mikeratkiewicz6720 I notice that but if he’s punting deep from his area, back up cuz it’s gonna bounce towards the returner anyway with the lower punts he goes for. And for the guys fair catching deep let it go

[@mikeratkiewicz6720]

@@salarycapo you're right. The other option is teams have started putting two returners back there. If he's deep in his end zone you might as well play it long. If it goes short consider yourself lucky. Either way it's a discussion I never thought would exist.

[@ryanmiller2546]

I was thinking something similar. It’s called out kicking the coverage unit.

[@hi030405]

Yeah that’s the first thing I noticed. How fast his punts were coming back down. Distance is impressive and all but it doesn’t mean much when a properly positioned returner gains a wide open field.

Here after watching him punt 80+ yds in the preseason opener. Wow!

She saw this video and said I need to cash in on this.

This dude is awesome. For the brand!

[@PurpleRaven300]

scouting reports came out and said that 17 year old girls agree that he really does have a strong (third) leg

[@absurdandy4122]

You are going to have an interesting google this morning 😂

[@hugonnava]

No. 2 is a popular # and he got it, so he must be good. But his 3rd leg canceled out his other legs.

Matt Araiza best punter in prison

You know he's got amazing punt protection to have the time to boot it like that! He gets a nice cushion. Like #45 Wyatt Draeger is a beast, no one gets by him.

[@Haoxman101]

He’s a weapon! He might just be the whole special team. He has highlights Kicking Field goals, 80+ yard punts, and handling kickoff Coverage. Pat Mcafee will love this guy!

Pat McAfee loves himself

[@csonkaperdido]

Good lord. He just makes me feel like a complete wuss... I played soccer my whole life, and I messed around with kicking field goals and punting sometimes. My longest punt ever went about 45-50 yards in the air. Longest field goal was like 43 yards or something like that - I know it was under 45 yards for sure. This guys AVERAGE punt travels 65-70 yards in the air! I measured one of them at 82 yards in the air! He punted from his goal line and it landed at the 18 yard line! Holy shit! I bet he will hit a 90 yard punt some day... If he plays for the broncos at Mile High Stadium he might kick a 100 yarder if he gets the wind at his back. This dude is a friggin beast! Seriously I think with about a 15-20mph wind, at 5,000ft above sea level, he'd punt the ball 90 yards, and he's gonna kick like a 70 yard field goal one day. He might pop the ball. I seriously can't believe this dude can kick the ball that far - he's got 10 yards on literally anybody, NFL punters not just college. I don't know who the record holder is for longest punt not counting bounces - just thru the air - but he is gonna beat that record if he hasn't already.

[@HeyZeus096]

I played goalkeeper in high school, I could usually drop a punt at about 40-50 yards in the air. Goofing around with a football recently as an out-of-shape adult, I could probably get about a 30-40 yard punt and I'm sure if I trained up I could hit 50 again. Under no pressure, with as much time as I want to wind up, in perfect conditions. This dude makes a 70 yard punt with a blocker in his face look effortless. God damn.

[@borisbulldog]

I used to be able to throw a football over a mountain in high school

[@RavensSixNine]

You know you are a good punter if you have highlights of your punts

[@gnome2590]

I have never seen a punter highlight reel. Dudes a fucking beast holy.

I can see a team talking him in the first round. For some reason I’m picking the patriots to pick him up in the 2nd if he’s available
