Why is he fully dressed out? Or is that typical?

Very smart move by Coach O. A position of need and it doesn’t go against our numbers, huge!

“Tracy was Assumption's kicker for three seasons and was 22-of-26 on field-goal attempts in 2015 and 19-of-29 in 2016”.

Doesn’t seem that much better than Culp.

Didn't think they were going to announce this until next week, but nevertheless this is an exciting pick-up for this staff. The biggest "address the need" correctly I have seen so far.

Cole is a solid kicker. The fact that he ended up D-II is a product of getting lost in the shuffle and going through the wrong national camp system. As his stats show, very accurate kid. Doesn't spray balls.....sends them right down the pipe with very little lateral movement. He can hit the big ball also.....has a long of 53 and hit one or two FGs from 52.

Very excited to see him added. Of note however, Cole DID NOT handle KO duties. The last report I had on him indicated he may not have the leg to bury the ball in the end zone. Look for Culp to focus on that aspect of the kicking game. Look for Jack to fade into the background

Great pickup. We are fortunate our missed kicks didn’t affect wins/losses this year but we needed every point in the Florida and Auburn games. A kicker is a huge weapon.
