USC's Eddie Czaplicki Named First Team All-American
December 11, 2024 | Football
LOS ANGELES--USC senior punter Eddie Czaplicki has been named a First Team All-American.Â
Â
Czaplicki is USC's second-ever punter named a First Team All-American. The first punter was Tom Malone in 2003. USC now has 177 First Team All-Americans.
Â
Czaplicki was named to The Athletic All-American First Team.Â
Â
Czaplicki, a Ray Guy Award finalist, is the best punter in the nation. He was selected to the All-Big Ten First Team and the AP All-Big Ten First Team, and was named the Big Ten Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year.Â
Â
USC ranks first in the nation in net punting (45.54). He leads the nation in percentage of punts inside the 20 for punters with a minimum of 30 attempts. Twenty-four of his punts have been inside the 20, 9 have been inside the 10 and 4 inside the 5. He has recorded just 1 touchback the entire season.Â
Â
He has averaged over 50-yards in 4 games this season (55.3 vs. LSU, 53.1 vs. Michigan, 56.0 vs. Minnesota and 51.8 vs. Nebraska). He has been named a Ray's 8 Award recipient three times this season. Twenty-one of Czaplicki's 40 punts have been over 50 yards (.525), including a season-long of 62 yards against Minnesota. He also recorded a career-high single game punting average of 53.1 yards against Michigan.Â
Â
Czaplicki has been instrumental in flipping the field and giving the Trojan defense great field position all season long.
