You need a quality kicker in every season. Who is that guy heading into next year?

Do you even know when the last time we gave a scholarship to a kicker was? HINT: Not last year, or the year before that...or the year before that

Looks like his claim to fame is his kickoffs. He consistently booms them 7 yards deep into the endzone, if not out of the endzone. Like you said, that is quite a weapon.


He's kicking off from the 40 instead of the 30 fwiw.

I haven't read the whole thread but am I the only one that found some of his comments a little on the fruity side?

I'm not even going to go into that... My favorite part when when he started referring to himself as "this kicker".

THIS! Jasper/Crutchfield was the last time a scholly was given to a place kicker. You think we can just go without one for a season or two? We'll just go for two everytime, and screw FGs. Then on kickoffs, we'll just kick it onsides every time.

Anyone listening to his interview right now?

It is hilarious how confident this kid is.

Unbelievable confidence.

Wonder how he'll handle his first miss.

So far he has predicted contributing immediately, amazing the fans by clearing the uprights on 50 yard fgs, tons of touchbacks, lighting people up on kickoff retuns (threw out his own stature-6'1" 205.

He also called out Botts saying he outperformed him in camps and made fun of SMU for not being able to fill up the stadium.

He just predicted a championship.

Lastly he just threw a shoutout to Les Miles in case he was listening.

Looks like he is trying to to tell Alleman to go to hell, because there's a new starter in town.

He might come in and be the K/O guy. Don't know enough about Alleman's ability on K/O's to judge.

That's exactly what you want in a kicker. They are in a world of their own, and if even the slightest trace of lack of self-confidence creeps into their psyche, they're on very shaky ground.
