Worried about Special Teams

[Sofa King Lucky]

I've done some research and found out that newly signed special teams recruits Jake Collett and Mikey Bukauskas struggled through their senior seasons. Jake converted 9 out of 19 field goal attempts this season while also missing several PAT attempts. Mikey had a punting average of 35 yards per punt. Is this really scholarship-worthy?

Hot take specialists should never be put on scholarship until they prove it. 
 

3 wasted scholarships. 
 

Get a mason Shipley every year

With going to 105 schollys (which seems more and more likely) theyll probably portal K and P again. Dont want to bank on a freshman like we did in 2024 with P.

9 of 19? Yikes if true.

Did Australia run out of punters? Hopefully the new guy gets to develop a year or two before he is the front-line punter.

I hope that's true, otherwise you just wasted two scholarships on these guys. Seems like in this day and age you can just portal K and P.

Not worried about the punter. 

He's damn good and talented

That field goal kicker must have regressed from his Junior year. That stat is horrible.
