The special teams bonanza continues for the Texas Longhorns!

Florida State punter Mac Chiumento has committed to Texas. He made the announcement with a post on his Instagram account.

Chiumento was the Seminoles‘ 2025 Special Teams MVP. He averaged 44 yards per punt on 27 punts, with six of 50 or more yards, 13 downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line and one touchback.

Ok, the odds the next commitment is on offense or defense is pretty good!

Chiumento went to eat at Terry Black's this afternoon with a couple of special teams' assistants. Texas BBQ once again does the trick.

 

Out of his 27 punts, 13 ended up inside the 20 yard line. He averaged 44.0 yards per punt as well.

I say offense and it’ll be one of those two offensive lineman from michigan.

Going out on a limb, I see.

I would assume the next commits people will get a little more excited about, but these are all part of the big picture.

For 1/3 of the equation, yes.  Still 2/3 to go.

Jeff, you need your own catchphrase. Gerry has hi, Bobby has boom, CJ has his hat throwing, Rod has the helmet, Blake mutes himself. We gotta get you your own thing.

What’s the point of taking HS specialist if we are just gonna get portal kids every year? Just my opinion 

[HornsUpThumbsDown]

Plenty of practice punting from FS lol

If they develop, they can kick for you for 2-3 years - backup as freshman.

Honestly it makes more sense now to go that route because of the 105 roster IMO.

questionable to go with a punter with 1 year experience and only 28 punts..and on a BAD FSU team. Did FSU go for it every 4th down or just turn it over before getting to kick? Is he expected to back up the freshman?

[HornsUpThumbsDown]
