Zach Buschlen is a very coachable football player and punter. He has the ability to punt the ball 50 to 60 yards with excellent hang time. He has an uncanny ability to punt the ball out of bounds inside the twenty-yard line. He consistently enabled our team to greatly improve field position. He stays cool under pressure, he doesn’t get too high and he doesn’t get too low.
