Background:
Lou Hedley is a former Australian football player from Mandurah, Australia. Starting his collegiate career with the City College of San Francisco, Hedley averaged 38.6 yards per punt in 2017 and ran for 75 yards on 3 fake attempts. He then redshirted the 2018 year to preserve eligibility. In 2019, Hedley averaged 43.9 yards per punt in 64 punts. In 2020, Hedley was named a finalist for the Ray Guy award, earned Second Team All-America honors, and ranked 2nd in FBS in regular season punting. In 2021, he earned more of the same accolades, totaled 11 punts of 50 yards or more, and finished with 19 dropped punts inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. In his final year, Hedley was once again a Ray Guy Award semifinalist, earned First Team All-ACC, was a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy for scholar-athletes, and graduated with a Master’s degree from the University of Miami. Hedley needed to go to junior college due to not graduating from high school in Australia prior to earning his second degree with the Hurricanes.
