_ Can't run it out of the end zone in high school.

Guess I havn't seen enough kicked out to know. By the way, what's a high school?

It's where you go in between middle school and college (if you so choose).

Mechanics are poor??? I saw this kid play 3 times this season. He put the ball out of the endzone on several kickoffs, twice putting the ball between the uprights. Leave him the heck alone and allow these poor mechanics to take him all the way to the NFL where he can make millions with that poor form!

This is a good point and I'm not qualified enough, nor have I seen him play enough to know whether he truly has poor mechanics or not. However, the lack of mechanics does come in when a kicker is kicking under extreme pressure which he's likely to see in college assuming he does any type of placekicking along with kickoffs. If he's just kicking off, I don't care what he looks like doing it as long as he's getting it in the endzone. If he can do this consistently the way he kicks now, who cares?

We have a place kicker. We need someone for kickoffs.

Stover did not kick extra points or short field goals this year. He was used on kickoffs and long field goals.

Is he related to Matt Stover?

[NewULfan]

No, he is not related to Matt.

Remember, 63% touchbacks after playing defense 100% sometimes on rain soaked sloppy filelds. Returns are going to happen, just the nature of the beast. Also, he was offense inside of the red zone.
I have to agree with some minor top-notch kicking coaching...he will give us something to watch.

Nice blog guys

Looking at the big picture his kickoff ability really is nothing short of amazing. Hunter will be fun to watch.

I'm more concerned about the SBC games. Not only did we give way too many average offensive SBC teams far too short of a field... even when/if our defense made a stand, we would hand our offense a long field to work with. It is a serious, serious UL football problem we have to turn in our favor.

New to UL ball here...who is and how was last years place kicker?
