I would assume that would be a PWO

We just signed a kicker last year and are probably signing a punter next year.

Unless hes a decent punter and wants someone to compete with Rosenberg. (We probably need it tbh, Rosenberg is an average punter)

Could be a preferred walk on type deal with the promise of a full ride if he wins a job.

Coaches don't really put too much weight into the rankings. One thing about those outside ranking systems by "coaches" is remember that they are getting paid for those reviews, so an above average kid that has been using the same coach for 10 years and been to a 100 camps is going to be ranked higher than the phenom that just came out to 1 camp. It's pay for play for most of those things. Look at the offers and visits to see who should be ranked where.

They have to perform at his camp to get the ranking. All the kids that are invited get their shot and then they have to perform there under pressure. It’s basically a big kick off. You miss, you’re out.

He did very well at the LSU camp is all I know. Was told "Don't remember seeing him miss at the camp". Also, yes this is a PWO. Spot opened up with Culp transferring out.

Getting a backup kicker that can replace all 3 of the main kickers if anything happened would be nice.

This is the guy you want. He will have been invited to Sailers Top 12 camp (think Elite 11 for kickers) three years in a row.

He's coming in primarily as a K. We have a 2021 Punter committed already.

At best. He was not very good this year especially for not being on the field much. In the championship game his avg hang time was like 2.5 secs and his avg per punt would have been like 35 yards had that one not rolled for like 20 yards. If Zeke can punt then bring him onboard to challenge Rosenberg.

ETA: well damn just saw we had a punter in 2021 nvm

Does that mean we are not expecting to get someone and have one extra spot in class or is that Kaufman's spot

Ah ok.

So he would primarily just be a depth guy then.

Found this guy on Youtube. WOW! He is fantastic! I know we have Cade York for FG's, Von Rosenberg for P's and Atkins for KO's. Mata can do it all!

One of his punts went from the 10 yard line to the other 10 yard line - 80 yds!!!

He’s not coming in on scholarship right? No way we waste one of the 25 man limit with York on the roster?
