Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked punter, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team.

Against every punter
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked punters he sits, on average, in the 55th percentile for efficiency and 87th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 8 games, Will Duncan's best came in week 1 against Duquesne and his quietest in week 7 against UNLV.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every punter on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Will Duncan is 9th of 134 FBS punters and 2nd of 10 in the Mountain West. Next up nationally is Bart Edmiston of Wyoming, 0.02 ahead on the index.
