We’re oalk-On Punter and all-Around athlete Bennett Boehnlein days away from kickoff!
Player: Bennett Boehnlein
Position: P
Year: RS-Fr
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 205 lbs
2024 Outlook: Reserve Punter / Special Teams
Bennett Boehnlein, a redshirt freshman out of St. Xavier High School in Louisville, Kentucky is multi-talented player, but is primarily known as a punter for Purdue. In high school he was an All-State punter, averaging just over 40 yards an attempt. Not strictly a punter, the all-around athlete also started at tight end and was the backup quarterback.
Boehnlein and former Mississippi State transfer Keelan Crimmins will be fighting it out for the starting punter position. The more experienced Crimmins is considered the favorite for the job, but Boehnlein’s athletic ability could get him on the field as field goal holder.
