STARKVILLE — Mississippi State punter Ethan Pulliam was selected as an All-American by The Sporting News on Wednesday, earning a spot on the Second Team after an impressive 2025 campaign.
Pulliam, a Starkville native and former Yellow Jacket, punted 40 times this season for a total yardage of 1,874. His average of 46.9 yards per punt ranks 18th in FBS per College Football Reference, and is currently a program record with just the Duke’s Mayo Bowl left to play.
Pulliam established himself as the team’s long-distance punter, registering a long of 67 yards and 16 punts of 50 yards or more. He pinned the other team inside the 20-yard line 10 times.
Pulliam is a two-sport athlete, but gave up his spot on the MSU baseball team in the spring to focus solely on football.
