Ethan Wood is finally comfortable as Wyoming’s punter.
Following a standout soccer career at Liberty High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado — during which he kicked all of three field goals for the football team — he first began punting as a freshman in 2013.
Former Cowboys coach Dave Christensen preferred rugby-style punting, where the punter runs to the right for a few moments, allowing the coverage team to sprint downfield, before booting the ball.
Last year, he switched to standard-style punting under the direction of current UW coach Craig Bohl.
“That was a little bit of a change,” Wood said. “I still wasn’t real comfortable with it.”
Now, after using the same punting method for a second straight year, Wood is primed to settle in and give UW’s special teams a boost.
