Alabama brought in transfer punter Blake Doud during the offseason, and the Division II standout is expected to compete with Alex Asparuhov for the starting role this spring, with his field-flipping ability and experience potentially giving him an edge.
Blake Doud, who spent four seasons with the Orediggers, earned First-Team All-American honors from the Associated Press in 2023 and 2024, led Division II with a 46.6-yard punt average in 2024, and now aims to showcase his powerful leg at Alabama.
Blake Doud hopes to follow in the footsteps of former Alabama punter James Burnip, who is NFL-bound after a strong final season, as he brings his impressive 46.1-yard average over 84 punts, including an 80-yard long, from the past two seasons.
Regardless of whether Blake Doud secures the starting role, his powerful leg could become a key asset for Alabama during the 2025 season as he looks to make an impact in his final year of college football.
