Every year, there are a few college football players that I seek out their highlights. They are usually from smaller schools or teams out West that I don’t usually catch on television. This year’s number one guy I hunt for is San Diego State punter/kicker Matt Araiza.
Yes, I look forward to watching punting highlights every week. If you’ve seen just one highlight from Araiza, you would understand why. I’m not alone in this as he trends often on Twitter due to his unbelievable punts. He has two 80+ yard punts on his résumé this season.
Matt Araiza is a redshirt junior and takes care of punting, kicking, and kick-off duties. His placekicking skills aren’t great, but that doesn’t mean a team couldn’t refine his accuracy once drafted. It’s his punting ability that has put him on the map.
