Stanford lands commitment from P Aditya Kaul
On Monday, Stanford football landed a commitment from 2026 punter Aditya Kaul out of Westminster School in Atlanta, Georgia. Kaul also held offers from Duke, Army, and Air Force in addition to Stanford.
Kaul is the #3 ranked punter according to Kohl’s Professional Camps, making him an elite punter in his class. Kohl’s has him rated as a 4-star kicker and a 5-star punter, so while punting is what he projects to do at Stanford, he has the ability to kick as well.
Kohl’s said the following about Kaul:
“Kaul attended Kohl’s National Scholarship Camp in July of 2025. At camp, he scored 109.8 points in punting. He showed he has great college potential as a punter and is someone to watch during his senior season. Kaul is a D1 punter and has consistently performed at a high level over the last couple of years! Kaul had a great showing at the 2025 Southern Showcase in May. He won the punt competition and looked refined in the punt drill work phase of camp. He is ready to have a big summer in front of college coaches. He scored 113.5 points during the punt charting phase of camp.
“At the Underclassman Challenge in January, he scored 109.85 points in punting at the event. Kaul had many punts that traveled over 50 yards from the line of scrimmage. He had another solid showing at the 2024 Kohl’s Southern Winter Showcase. He scored 99.62 points in the punt charting and produced some well struck footballs in tough conditions. His biggest charted punt at camp was 57 yards with 4.18 seconds of hang time.
“At the 2024 Kohl’s National Scholarship Camp, Kaul scored 104.98 points in punting, 12 points on field goals, and 92.8 points on kick-offs. His punt score of 104.98 points was better than many 2025 players who have D1 offers. Kaul also had a good showing in the rain at the 2024 Dec Southern Showcase. He scored 99.62 points at that event.
“Kaul also attended Kohl’s Future Stars Invitational. He showed improved command of his drop in punting and impressed us with his leg speed at the event. He scored 6 points in the field goal charting and connected with a big ball of 61 yards with 3.70 seconds of hang time in the kickoff portion.”
While it’s an often overlooked position by fans, punter really is a crucial position. They can flip the field position, put offenses on their back heels, and also give coaches more options when needing to make tough decisions. If you don’t have faith in your punter, you will be more pressured to go for it on 4th down, which can hurt field position and lead to easy scoring opportunities for your opponents. Kaul appears to be an elite punting talent that has the potential to be a game changer for the Cardinal on Saturdays. It’ll be fun to see how he does on The Farm and how he grows behind current punter Aidan Flintoft.
