'13 OH K Andrew Gantz (UT w/o commit 1/31)

[utvols16manning]

It's true. Gantz was Centerville's kickoff specialist and he hit 2 of 4 FG attempts this year. Another kicker, Jason Kaczala, handled most of their PAT attempts.

Long was 45. At least he was 100% on extra points. Already better than what we have.

Gantz is a great kid with a strong leg. He played at my high school in Ohio. We rarely ever kick. Another great k ickerout of Centerville was Mike Nugent. Big boom

 

[AF_VOL]

WOW! We talked a solid player at a position of need into committing as a preferred walk-on. Our luck may be turning around. It seems like the last couple of years we would have had to take him as a package deal or something ridiculous like that.

Great news. Now we need to get a punter to walk on.

Our kicking game has been terrible.

This might also be a way around the new sec number of signees rule. IMHO

 

[utvols16manning]

He claims his longest ever is a 67 yarder per his twitter...

His recruiting video shows him nail a 60 and a 65 yarder....in practice. I'm mobile, can't post it...just googled his name.

Go attempt 10 30 yard field goals, and he will no longer be the worst kicker you've ever seen. :good!:

 

[TCDuckman23]

I hate to boom over a kicker, but considering the circus that has been our kicking game the last few years, welcome to Rocky Top!

You can't say that enough. He was horrible. If anyone even mentions his name at my place this year while watching a game, I'm going to punch them in the mouth!

Great news!! Welcome!

And yeah, 67 yards is amazing, but as long as you can kick extra points and 30 yd field goals, you'll earn the starting spot pretty quickly and people here will praise you. Work hard, play hard, and I hope you earn that scholly!
