With the Wisconsin Badgers landing the No. 1 punting prospect in the 2025 class this week, it’s the perfect time to pivot to the next entry in my football Mt. Rushmore series: Punters.
This might not generate quite the same levels of vibrant debate as running back, fullback, quarterback, or even kickers have, but it’s a worthy pursuit nonetheless.
As always, my Mt. Rushmores have a modern bias built in as well as a lean toward full-time punting duties, but as you’ll see, I haven’t forgotten about a certain Badger legend from the 50s/60s.
