Player Story

Sam Loy story

Sam Loy built his college career from 2015 through 2021 as a punter from San Clemente, CA wearing No. 42, spending time with Arkansas, Colorado, and Vanderbilt. The clearest part of Sam Loy's career was his field-position work: 193 punts, 7,791 punting yards, and 9 punts inside the 20 across 40 career games in the available record. His largest box-score season came in 2016 with Vanderbilt. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.

Special-teams careers depend on repeatable opportunity, not just one highlight. His career also includes 1 tackle, giving the story more than a single-category snapshot. With 40 career games in the available record, his career has enough shape to show both opportunity and production across Arkansas, Colorado, and Vanderbilt.

The arc is straightforward: Sam Loy moved through the depth chart, found a larger role, and turned that opportunity into production that can be understood through standard football numbers.
