In high school I played against a team whose quarterback was also their punter. Why can't a player, if appropriately skilled, do both?

The point is, if your regular punter is 18, and your backup qb is 18, you can easily deceive the defense by sending in your backup qb to line up as your regular punter.
The defense is going to assume it's a punt and defend accordingly.
OTOH, at the college level, there shouldn't be any surprises after about week 2.
