Arkansas State University

Joe Slayton punted for Arkansas State from 1976-79 and was one of the best in school history at the position. Slayton ranks second all-time at A-State with 9,269 punting yards and third with 239 career punts. His 54.0 average in the 1979 campaign remains third-highest in program history for a single season, while he also booted one of just two 80-yard punts in school history. The two-time All-Southland Conference honoree’s kick of 80 yards versus Lamar in 1979 is second-longest in a single game.
