At Highland High in Gilbert, AZ, McNamara average 42.6 yards per punt as a senior, drilled 12 field goals (including 45-yarder) and made all 63 of his PAT kicks. - Texas Tech Football

When it came to special teams during the 2021 college football season, Texas Tech had one of the most potent one-two punches a team could ask for in Austin McNamara and Jonathan Garibay. McNamara averaged 48.2 yards per punt, the highest average in Texas Tech and Big 12 history. Garibay made 15 of 16 field goals, including a pair of late game winners: one for 32 yards at West Virginia and another for 62 yards to vanquish Iowa State. Garibay gave up his last year of eligibility and signed a free-agent de al with the Dallas Cowboys, leaving the Red Raiders to stage a competition to be his replacement. Better news for Tech on the punter front: McNamara will handle that duty for the Red Raiders for the fourth year in a row, taking a career average of 46.3 y ards into 2022. Tech ranked fifth in the FBS last season in net punting - gross yards, less return yards - at 43.98 yards.

If you think a punter cracking the top five of a roster ranking is strange, you probably haven't seen Austin McNamara boot a football. In 2021, McNamara averaged 48.2 yards per punt -- the highest in Texas Tech and Big 12 history. Punters can truly be ga me changers, and there's a legitimate argument that McNamara is the most valuable player on the Texas Tech roster. - Dallas Morning News
