Washington, Boise State Add Transfer Punters as Portal Activity Increases

Washington has secured a new punter, Luke Dunne, who transferred from Oregon and has three years of eligibility remaining. Dunne, an Australian native and ProKick Australia product, served as Oregon's backup punter for two years, averaging over 42 yards per punt and demonstrating strong control and placement, with a significant number of punts downed inside the 20-yard line and none returned last season. His addition fills a major need for the Huskies after multiple departures from their special teams unit, including the transfer of previous punters and the brief tenure of another Australian recruit. Washington's coaching staff values Dunne's versatility and ability to impact field position, reflecting a broader trend of American college teams recruiting Australian punters with diverse skill sets. Dunne joins kicker Ethan Moczulski, another transfer portal addition, as the Huskies aim to revamp their special teams for the upcoming season.
