James Hunter Niswander (born November 26, 1994) is an American football punter who is a free agent.
As a freshman, he made a 35-yard field goal that sealed a state playoff appearance for the first time in school history.
He tied for the fourth longest punt (80 yards) in school history against the University of Iowa.
[1] Niswander was out of football after being invited for a tryout at the Pittsburgh Steelers rookie minicamp in 2018.
[6] He was promoted to the active roster on November 7, 2020, after punter Chris Jones was placed on injured reserve with a core muscle injury.
[8] On April 7, 2021, punter Bryan Anger was signed to compete with Niswander for the starting position.
Anger pulled ahead of him during training camp, so Niswander also focused on placekicking duties, to provide depth while Greg Zuerlein recovered from offseason back surgery.
On August 16, Niswander suffered a back injury of his own during a training camp practice.
