Oregon lands commitment from top-10 punter Tyler Kinsman

 

Oregon's special teams room got some good news on Thursday afternoon as top-10 ranked punter Tyler Kinsman announced his commitment to the Ducks 2024 class and head coach Dan Lanning.

 

It remains unclear if Kinsman will be a scholarship player at Oregon. If so, he'll be the 25th recruit to join the class of 2024.

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.

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.

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.
