Max Duffy is still good at punting
Max Duffy has moved on from Kentucky football. When everyone’s favorite Australian isn’t podcasting, he can be found punting footballs with USFL.
The former All-American is still pretty good at it, too.
Playing for a Pittsburgh Maulers team that is struggling in its debut season, Duffy has been used plenty, and the Kentucky product dropped a dime on Friday night. Punting from just shy of midfield, KSR’s own dropped a beautiful punt down the left sideline that traveled 48 yards and went out of bounds just inside the five-yard line.
However, this is not a surprise to the Big Blue Nation.
Duffy was a three-year starter during his stay in Lexington and appeared in 34 games for head coach Mark Stoops. For his career, Duffy averaged 46 yards per attempt and led the nation in average (48.1) during the 2019 season. That year, Duffy brought home the Ray Guy Award which is given to the best punter in college football to go along with first-team All-American honors.
Duffy is still chasing his professional football dreams as he is averaging 41.9 yards per punt with an inside the 20 rate of 22.2 percent. The Mauler will not make the playoffs, but Max Duffy has had a solid first professional season down in Birmingham.
