Luke Prestridge (born September 17, 1956) is an American former professional football player who was a 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.
