Avery Atkins is a senior in 2021 and Cade York is a junior.

I thought York was a sophomore this season

ETA: saw the 2021 in there. I guess it wouldn’t hurt, 2022 is a long way and he will probably have 3 more solid years left.

The key is do you try to replace Avery Atkins as kick off and have a year of overlap with Cade York. If you want to rely on a freshman again, you could wait until 2023.
But I am a little afraid of relying upon freshman kickers (in spite of last year).

Actually, when you watch game highlights of last year, York was pretty inconsistent.

Isn’t one of the best kickers in the country walking on this year?

21-27 on FGs, PERFECT from inside 40 yards. 4-5 from 50+

As a FRESHMAN. You're clueless.

His Value is versatility— Great punter as well

The staff probably just completely forgot that they need a kicker...

Would rather not have to rely on a freshman again. Looking back those two kicks in Tuscaloosa were damn special.

York should be able to kick off though no?

Are you f’in kidding me? That TRUE freshman was clutch. Does Texas or Bama ring a bell? His numbers were great.

There’s a reason he’s walking on, he might be serviceable but who knows? The last walk on kicker to get significant action was Gonsoulin and he struggled.

Get that and the really elite ones get offered but kickers are very commonly walkons. And also a crapshoot for the most part even at the pro level. Never truly know what you're getting. Look at Bama. We'd all agree that staff is elite at evaluation and get big time kickers but they struggle. We've been very fortunate for the most part. Great shape currently.

If anyone is wondering how Coach Mac found him. John Carney is one his coaches.
