The 63.0 yards per punt mark by ASU sophomore Michael Turk on Aug. 29 vs. Kent State broke NCAA and Pac-12 Conference records. The record for highest average yards per punt in a game with a minimum of five attempts was previously held by Braden Mann of Texas A&M on Sept. 22, 2018, as he had a 60.8 yards per punt average vs. Alabama on punts of 56, 65, 62, 61 and 60 for 304 yards. Turk punted five times for 315 yards with boots of 64, 62, 65, 49 and 75 yards in his Sun Devil debut.
Additionally, it was the highest average mark in a game in ASU school history regardless of the number of punts. The previous record for average on five punts was 55.0, accomplished by Danny White in 1972.
Turk’s 75-yard punt in the fourth quarter tied for the sixth-longest punt in school history.
