Chris Jackson may have punted in spring game and played 3rd in a night game, maybe?

Lyle Mouton probably did.

The closest thing I can come up with was I think Billy Cannon ran sprints and threw the shot put on the same day.

One of my cousins threw the shot put in a track meet and pitched an inning of relief on the same day, but that was for Nicholls State.

He lettered in all three sports, and led the Tigers’ football team to a 21-7 victory over Ole Miss (quarterbacked by Charlie Conerly) with touchdown runs of 70 and 46 yards. But his most vivid memories of that game were four punts—a 75-yarder and three coffin corner kicks that pinned the Rebels inside their two-yard line.
Before one punt, Dark asked the referee where the ball would be placed if he hit the flag.
“Right there,” he replied. “Right on the one-foot line.”
As forever LSU fan, I've never heard that story - thanks for the info -
"Dark grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He played baseball, basketball, and football at Louisiana State University before transferring to Southwestern Louisiana Institute to engage in officer training for the United States Marine Corps. After serving in the Marines in 1945 and 1946, he signed with the Braves, debuting with them later that year. He spent 1947 in the minor leagues, then was named the major leagues' 1948 Rookie of the Year after batting .322 for the Boston Braves."
I am ashamed to have never heard any of this before - thanks again for the heads-up

Yeah if I remember correctly, he put on a football helmet with his baseball uniform and punted in the game.
