Log Haulin No. 2 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I would never give any kicker, longsnapper or punter a scholarship. I would hire a great coach and if they want to get developed for the NFL they will come. Specialist wouldn't get a scholarship untill there senior year at best.

Haywarduck No. 3 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Preferred walk-on is a pretty good gig for a punter. Prove yourself, get a scholarship or transfer. Agree the kicker, punter long snapper are important positions, but you don't want to waste a scholarship on a head case. I think this is where you spend a little on NIL money and the transfer portal. Buy a known entity, see if you can get lucky with a preferred walk-on low risk. I think that is what we did with the WSU kicker, but he is hurt.

About 25% of FBS schools scholarship the longsnapper now... and that's primarily the top programs doing it. One bad snap can ruin an entire season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic No. 5 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I'd like to see a top 10 place kicker commit. Lewis is a Senior. Grant Meadors and Andrew Boyle are on staff but a really good kicker who can boom it from 50+ yards out would be refreshing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
