Former ECU punter will now play at Villanova

by | Mar 22, 2025

Villanova now has the distinction of having the oldest punter in college football.

Luke Larsen, who hails from Australia, was the oldest punter in college football and played for East Carolina. He recently hit the transfer portal after three seasons. Villanova announced on Friday that the graduate transfer will play there this fall, according to Inquirer.com.

Larsen signed with ECU as a 28-year-old freshman in 2020, making headlines for his style of kicking and his age. He will turn 33 on July 18. He averaged 40.8 yards a kick last season.

Villanova opens its season against Colgate on Sept. 6.
