Seemed like a better kicker than punter. Left footed kid who I saw kick every kickoff into end zone. Good prospect.

Tommy Wing was mostly a WR and not that great of a punter actually.

Wait, he's giving up a scholarship at UCLA to walk on at LSU? That's pretty surprising.

believe he's more of a punter and kick offs Culp will be out field goal kicker.

Thanks Biggmatt. Thought that might be the case.

Louisiana has TOPS and he may have gotten awarded an academic scholarship. I'm sure it all balances out along with allowing him to stay home.

From what I've heard is that the UCLA scholarship didn't cover the $40,000 in out-of-state fees he would have to pay early. So I'm assuming he didn't want to pay all that money when he get save money and go to a better football school. And yes TOPS covers a lot if you stay in LA

Looks like he always wanted to be a Tiger in the back of his mind. LINK /

How good is he?


Think he's more of a punter maybe kick offs. Only possible issue is outkicking coverage.

Bailey is one of my best friends little brother. His other brother, Gunnar, is a kicker for Bama, so Im extra excited that Bailey "turned the tide" and is kicking for the home team. It made my stomach turn to see my buddy sporting Bama hats, even though it was in support of his brother which is understandable.

Both Bailey and Gunnar are good kids/decent athletes, have played lots of travel league sports including soccer. He comes from a stable financial background, so the scholarship probably isn't as much of a deal breaker as it might be for others.

Very happy to see him at LSU. Will text my buddy to try to find out more about it and fill yall in

Whoever kicked off for stm in the championship game last week was not making it into the endzone. Don't know if that was him or not.

True.

It can be argued that Brad Wing's punt was the play of the game in the 9-6 win.
