Cole Murphy has done an outstanding job so far this year.

Having gone 4 for 4 in two games, he followed that up with a 2 for 2 performance versus USF. One of those kicks came from 48 yards.

Sterling Hofrichter also has been pretty superb punting the ball when the offense stalls. He had 5 more punts for 209 yards and a long of 52 yards. He averaged about 42 yards per punt which is pretty good. We need him and Murphy to keep up this level of play going forward, and if they do they will continue be recognized in the middle to top portion of these rankings.

Next: 4. Dontae Strickland
