From family of punters, Jack Stonehouse is making his own name with Mizzou football
Missouri's Jack Stonehouse is from a family of successful punters. The redshirt freshman is making his own name with the Tigers.

Jack Stonehouse’s first start provided plenty of experience for Missouri's redshirt freshman. The second half featured virtually no offense, making the young punter one of the most important players on the field against Auburn.
Stonehouse was excellent in the contest, despite having to punt eight times.
"Every time I went out there I was more relaxed,” Stonehouse said. “I was more kind of in tune. I was like, ‘OK, this is where I need to put the ball, this is where I’m going to put the ball.’ I didn’t think it was getting more scary as time went on; I think I was getting more relaxed.”
His big moment came in the fourth quarter. After a Missouri pass was incomplete on third down, Stonehouse trotted onto the field to kick from deep in his own territory, taking the snap from the MU 17.
He hit the ball like a John Daly tee shot, and his punt flew high and far. Auburn’s Keionte Scott was unable to return it, and the home Tigers were forced to start on their own 15. The boot ended up being 68 yards.
Not bad for a first-time starter.
But it's hardly surprising. Stonehouse's punting prowess runs in his family's genes. Jack is the latest Stonehouse making a name for himself with his leg. That name has become one of Missouri's most reliable assets.
'Anything but kicker'
The Stonehouse family isn’t new to this. Jack’s father, John, punted at USC, while his uncle Paul did the same at Stanford. Paul’s son Ryan was a star at the position for Colorado State before taking on his current role as the punter for the Tennessee Titans.
Growing up in California, Jack started playing football around sixth grade, but early on in his career, he wasn’t sold on a future as a punter.
