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. Julian Maceri's strongest measure is inside the 20 at 42%, 28th of 134 (the average is 35%). His weakest is touchbacks at 5%, 68th 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 52nd percentile for efficiency and 80th 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 10 games, Julian Maceri's best came in week 10 against McNeese and his quietest in week 4 at North Texas.
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. Julian Maceri is 13th of 98 FCS punters and 2nd of 9 in the Southland. Next up nationally is Teagan Cobb of Southeast Missouri State, 0.02 ahead on the index.
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 Luke Stewart of East Tennessee State.
