shite, I don't need to listen to your friend of a friend. I watched some of the PBS game in the Dome this year and the kid was amazing. He hit the freaking pylon from about 55yds out. He didn't know it was a touch back but he told his coaches that's what he was trying to do. Add in the fact that he had a few 60+ yarders and it won't take much for this kid to see the field at LSU next year. Just gotta hope the bright lights of TS don't freak him out.

Not the ACTUAL lights. The Dome had about 3,000 people in it. BIG difference when punting in front of 92,000 plus all the t.v. cameras.

What's his hang time like? That's the most important part for a punter.

He's consistently in the 4 second range. On some of his longer punts he can get it up there pretty good. He had a 71 yard punt this year in the freaking rain.

That's great. I see no reason why he shouldn't start over Helton after what we saw this year...

He has beautiful high long spirals on a consistent basis and he's only been kicking footballs for a few months. Also, the kid is about as laid back as possible and just loves life and I think he really understand the opportunity he has and is just enjoying it.

Funny story in the Patterson game against Kenny Hilliard, Hilliard ran to the sideline on a kickoff and finally got pushed out by like 5 guys and Wing was in his face just talking trash and Kenny just started laughing at him. Great stuff.

I can see it now. Brad makes it big in Tiger Stadium, booming 50 yarders like they're going out of style, then the local pencil jockey's nickname him "Buffalo".

I saw the same thing. Just needs a little work. From my friends at PBS, great kid, will do well at LSU.
