Jack Stonehouse’s NFL Punting Exit | Syracuse Orangemen Football News

Jack Stonehouse, Syracuse’s standout punter and ACC All-Star, got cut by the Houston Texans despite averaging over 47 yards per punt — a rare feat for a college punter. He battled veteran Kai Kroeger, traded for by Houston, in a high-stakes competition for the single punting spot. Though Stonehouse wasn’t drafted but was seen as a top prospect, the Texans chose Kroeger, leaving Stonehouse searching for his next shot. The team filled his void with running back Owen Wright, while former punter Tommy Townsend moved to Tennessee. Syracuse’s punting legacy continues with stars like Riley Dixon (still on an NFL roster), Nolan Cooney, and Sterling Hofrichter — but Stonehouse’s journey proves how brutal it is to crack the NFL’s punting ranks.
