Andrew James Kaser (born February 11, 1993) is an American football punter who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Texas A&M.[1]

College career

In Kaser's first season with the Texas A&M Aggies, he played in only one game with two punts. Kaser was then redshirted the next year and returned to the field the following year.

As a redshirt sophomore in 2013, Kaser was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award, which is an award given to prestigious punters.[2] Kaser was also named 2013 Sporting News All-American and first-team All-SEC punter. He led the SEC with an average punt at 47.4 yards, which beat the old school record of 47.0 yards held by Shane Lechler. Kaser's longest punt of the season was a 76-yard punt against Rice university. Kaser would later be named the Special Teams MVP at the Aggies annual banquet.

In his junior year in 2014, Kaser was ranked No. 11 in the national and No. 3 in the SEC. Kaser was averaging 44.5 yards a punt on 56 punts with 15 punts over 50 yards. Kaser also earned National Punter of the Week after averaging 54.7 on three punts in A&M’s victory over Auburn. Kaser had a career-high four punts downed inside the opponent 20 yard line against Mississippi State and Louisiana-Monroe.

Professional career

The San Diego Chargers selected Kaser in the sixth round (179th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.[3][4]

On October 2, 2018, Kaser was waived by the Chargers after the team signed Donnie Jones.[5]
