Not only has this guy consistently put the ball out of the end zone, but the fact that HE was the guy hustling down the field to recover that kickoff return fumble yesterday......stuff of legend!

Appreciate him every time he kicks off because I remember Gamble kicking off out of bounds quite often. Thank you Avery.

Unnecessary. We have Aranda, Raymond, and Bill Busch. Yet you think you know more than all three.

No need to shite on a player while giving credit to another. Even jokingly.

Battle does seem a step slow

I’m all in on Adkins. Credit O for getting him. We got this kid banging it out the end zone for three more years after this, and I think he’s a walk-on. This is how it’s supposed to be. No more Gamble dropping it on the 5 or OOB.

He didn’t even play around. He dove into that pile full on. Thats one thing this team has under O that Miles didn’t bring, and that’s a killer toughness from every player every snap.

He probably wanted Cushenberry on the bench also. The Rantard board geniuses know more than the coaches for sure.

Battle isn’t good. Tries hard though.

He was one of the main reasons we were able to keep momentum. Lord knows what could’ve happened if 4 was able to return majority of those kickoffs. That dude is electric. Kicking and special teams is often undervalued but man when you have it on your side it’s often pretty special and can be the difference in winning and losing.

I hope York is as good next year as Tracey has been this year.

Think you mean biological engineering. Either way, very impressive.

He had Ivy League offers (no scholarships in Ivy obviously but to be admitted and play on the team isn’t easy) but wanted to be a Tiger.

He sets the pace on ST by kicking it through the end zone. Don't even give them a chance!

Atkins will get the next scholarship available. Next year he will do kickoffs, FGs, & XPs. He was also the punter for Auburn HS. What a steal we got with him.
