Meet Senior Punter Logan Lupo
9/28/2025 12:31:00 AM | Football
For Florida Atlantic punter Logan Lupo, the game of football is a way for him to express his competitiveness. In 2025, the South Florida native is using his seventh and final year of eligibility. Lupo, the Owls' primary punter, has been called into action 11 times so far and averages 48.5 yards per punt in '25.
Lupo's collegiate career began at Louisville in 2019. After not playing in his freshman year, he finally saw some action in the 2020 season, appearing in five games. Throughout 2020, Lupo and athletes alike were faced with a new challenge: the Coronavirus pandemic.
With most of football and the world on pause, Lupo decided to take advantage of the opportunity in front of him and work on himself. "The whole time, I didn't come home and have fun, it was just training, training, training," said Lupo.
Although the pandemic introduced new challenges, Lupo believed this helped him keep his focus and improve his game. "I think it made it easier [to stay focused], there was less distraction, it was not like you could go out and do something." Throughout the pandemic, Lupo remained in Ohio with his trainer, Andrew, where he maintained a steady routine and could focus on his game.
After his sophomore season, Lupo entered the transfer portal. He reached out to his former high school teammate, and then-Owls long snapper, Nick Marino, who helped him land a spot with the team. Lupo spent his first two seasons with the Owls learning from future New Orleans Saints punter Matthew Hayball as well as Riley Thompson, The unit established a strong relationship throughout their time together with Florida Atlantic.
Both Hayball and Thompson continue to support Lupo to this day. "If I ever need anything, they are there for me," said Lupo.
Off the field, Lupo enjoys the outdoors, whether that is out on the boat, at the beach, or fishing. Lupo enjoys the game of golf and finds that it requires a very similar mindset to that of a kicker. "It meshes well with kicking; your foot is essentially a golf club. If you really look at it and the way you swing, how the ball moves, it's the same with a golf ball."
In 2025, Lupo hopes to continue to improve his game so that he can reach his goal of playing professionally in the NFL.
