Alec Clark, Florida P: the 2026 season story
Alec Clark is a senior punter for Florida (SEC). He ranks 5th of 232 punters in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every punter on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
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. Alec Clark's strongest measure is gross punt average at 47.1, 11th of 134 (the average is 43.6). Even his lowest-ranked one is good: touchbacks at 3%, 36th of 134 (the average is 6%).
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 81st percentile for efficiency and 89th 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, Alec Clark's best came in week 4 against Ole Miss and his quietest in week 3 at Auburn.
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. Alec Clark is 5th of 134 FBS punters and 2nd of 14 in the SEC. Next up nationally is Conor Donaghy of Jacksonville State, 0.07 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. A player's track record is the best guide to whether a season like this one is likely to last. This is his best season by the Player Index so far, out of 3 we have.
Punters like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Will Karoll of Texas Tech.
