I had an amazing time at @Merrimack today. I loved meeting the coaching staff and seeing the campus. Can’t to see more! @_CoachTC

[Gage Nutter @GageNutter_]

Needham has college football prospects on its offense and defense.

But its most impactful player this fall might be on special teams.

"It’s odd to say on such a talented team, but (@AlexRufo23) has been our most consistent and explosive weapon."

👀 College coaches

🏆 In his first game, Alex set the Needham High School FG record (46 yards).

🏆 In only six games, Alex set the single-season touchback record.

🏆 In his first and only season at NHS, Alex is going to set the career touchback record.

If you need a punter, Alex can pin the other team inside the 5 from the other side of the 50.

We've had some great college specialists at NHS. Alex is at the top of that list.

🚀🏈💪

[Alex Rufo @AlexRufo23]

Highlights from week 7:
55 yard/4+s hang time Punt pinning opposing team on the 1

34 yard field goal chip shot right hash
(100% on the season)

Other stats:
4/5 touchbacks
50 yard backed up punt
4/4 Pat

[Doug Kopcso @CoachKopcso]

👀 College coaches

🔥 Broke the school record for longest FG (46 yd)
🔥 Most touchbacks in one season after only five games
🔥 On his way to becoming the best punter in school history

Only in his first season of hs football, Alex is a special, elite weapon on ST.

🚀🏈💪

[Alex Rufo @AlexRufo23]

Highlight from game 5:
-58 yard punt in air pinning the other team on the 1 yard line

[Stephen Rocamboli @StephenRocambo2]

@CoachKopcso @NeedhamFootball

[Doug Kopcso @CoachKopcso]

Completely agree. That’s why college coaches need to 👀 Alex Rufo ‘25.

Only his first year playing hs football & has consistently kicked into the end zone, helped us win field position with huge punts, and broke our school record with a 46 yard FG in his first game.

🚀🏈💪
