Luke Prestridge (born September 17, 1956) is an American former professional
punter in the National Football League (NFL) for the Denver Broncos (1979–1983) and the New England Patriots (1984). He was selected to the Pro Bowl after the 1982 season as a member of the Denver Broncos. He played high school football at Sharpstown High School in Houston and college football at Baylor University.[1]
As of 2017[update]'s NFL off-season, Luke Prestridge held at the Broncos franchise records for punts in a game (12; tied with 2 others), and career post-season yards per punt (45.7). In a 1984 game in Week 8 between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins, Prestridge booted an 89-yard punt, which at the time tied an NFL record for longest punt. Through the 2018 NFL season, it remained the fourth longest punt in the NFL Super Bowl era.[citation needed]
