After struggling with his consistency last season, he spent a ton of time both in the gym and on his technique, and proved a valuable weapon in the Utes’ season-opening win over Florida.
In the 2022 season, Bouwmeester punted the ball 39 times, and struggled with consistency, averaging just 39.2 yards per kick. His season-long punt of 52 yards did not come until the team’s Rose Bowl loss to Penn State. He has spent time training with both ProKick and the Punt Factory in Australia. He also played Australian Rules Football with the Sandhurst Dragons in the Bendigo Football Netball League. Prior to coming to the United States, he became the No. 6-rated punting prospect by 247Sports out of Bendigo Catholic College. He committed to Michigan State in 2019, but never appeared in a game, and returned home in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.
“Last year … just was a big learning year,” Bouwmeester said. “Just getting here, getting used to how Coach Whitt runs things, how [special teams assistant coach Colton] Swan does things. And then obviously [I’ve now had] another offseason to build up the leg strength.”“Confidence plays a big part, I reckon,” he said.Bouwmeester hit the gym harder this offseason, building up additional leg strength, yes, but also doing more stretching, and exercises designed to loosen up his hips.
