Bio

2022: D3football.com Preseason All-American … Voted to College Sports Communicators’ Academic All-America® second team … Named to College Sports Communicators’ Academic All-District® Team for second time … Now a two-time all-conference selection after being voted to this year’s second-team … Wooster’s Allstate AFCA Good Works Team nominee … Lived up to D3football.com Preseason All-America billing with 43.5 punting average, a mark second in Div. III in 2022 … Broke program’s 74-year-old single-season punting average record … Broke NCAC and program career records with 41.1 yard average over 104 punts … Punted 40 times on the year, had a long of 62, and placed 12 inside the opposition’s 20-yard line … Opened year with five straight games with at least 42.0 yards per punt, including six for a 48.0 average at NCAC champion DePauw (Sept. 24) … Opened season with second-career D3football.com Team of the Week honor after punting three times for a 51.0 average at Geneva (Sept. 4) … Fired off a 52-yard punt in the final minute as Wooster protected an eight-point lead against Geneva … Booted a 56-yard punt in the third quarter against Geneva … Nailed a 62-yard punt versus Wabash (Sept. 17) and had a 60-yard boot versus Wittenberg (Oct. 29), a game in which the Scots rallied from a 33-7 third-quarter deficit to beat the Tigers 44-43 for first win in the series since 2008 … Member of the NCAC Academic Honor Roll for the third time.

2021: Second-team D3football.com all-region and second-team All-NCAC honoree … Enjoyed one of the top seasons in program history when it comes to punting … Averaged 42.9 yards per boot, with that ranking as first Scot over 40 yards per punt with at least 20 attempts since Dana Obery averaged 40.5 yards in 2010 … Had a higher average than Myndre Buscack’s 1948 school record of 42.2 yards per punt, but due to offense’s high level of success, did not meet minimum punts required for program’s single-season list … Also did not meet minimum requirement for NCAA Div. III leaderboard, but had a higher average than the top qualifier … Averaged a school-record 55.5 yards over four punts in win over Wabash (Oct. 16) … Instrumental in closing seconds of Wabash win by handling a high snap with great efficiency, then getting off a 55-yard punt to Wabash’s 20 yard line in the final 30 seconds … Earlier in Wabash win, pinned Little Giants at 1-yard line with career-long 66-yard punt … Named to D3football.com Team of the Week following Wabash win … Member of the NCAC Academic Honor Roll for the second time.

2020-21: Voted to the CoSIDA Academic All-District® Team … Wooster’s No. 1 punter once again … Averaged 30.8 yards over 11 punts … Averaged 55.5 yards over two kickoffs and had a touchback … Member of the NCAC Academic Honor Roll.

2019: One of the team’s most impactful newcomers, evidenced by earning the starting punter role from the get-go … Averaged 36.9 yards over 35 punts … Placed nine punts inside the 20-yard line and had three punts over 50 yards … Key reason Wooster was the lone team in the NCAC that didn’t have a blocked punt on the year.

Prior to Wooster: Earned second-team all-district honors in soccer as a junior … Prepped for Josh Shapiro at Washington-Liberty High School … Three-year letterwinner in soccer and lettered once in football.

Personal: Born June 11, 2001 … Parents are Scott Pardi and Heather Maloy … Biology major.
