It's been awhile since Gopher fans have seen Jacob Herbers punt in a game.

Jacob Herbers is back for his senior season. 

In 2018, Hebers punted 51 times (fewest for the Gophers in a season since they punted 38 times in 2005) and averaged 41.24 yards per punt (13th most in school history). He did not attempt a punt in the final 101:48 of the season (final Minnesota punt of the season came at Wisconsin with 11:48 remaining in the second quarter). 

Herbers was a big reason why Minnesota yielded only 10 punt return yards on nine punt returns last season. Herbers also held on 23 field goal attempts and 43 point-after attempts last season.
