Looks like he's gonna be a great replacement for Trevor Daniel. Guy can BOOM the ball.

GBO.

Huge BOOM!!

Did his parents know he was going to be a #1 punter when they named him?

 

[DeusExMachina]

Any kin to Steve??

LOL! Is a great name for a punter or porn star........:good!:

Great pickup. I hope he leads the nation in yards per punt, kicks inside the 5 yard line, and most importantly, lack of opportunity to play in games!

We'll see how strong his "verbal" commitment is when in state Clemson and Alabama offer.

"DeLong said Alabama and defending national champion Clemson were “also still on the table to think about,” and both schools had invited him to their upcoming camps, along with “probably” more than a dozen other programs."

We've done good with punters recently. Trevor Daniel, Matt Darr, Michael Palardy. One good punt can potentially seal a victory (See 2015 vs UGA).

nvm, not worth the trouble.

 

[Roustabout]

I hope he sees very little action.

Punter U lol. Good get. We have been fortunate for punters just wished we had a great consistent kicker. A good kicker could win close games for us when defense is playing good as well as a great punter.

 

[HoptownVol]

Oh hell outstanding!

 

[dduncan4163]

A good punter can make life easier for a defense. Good get Butch

Meh, I'm not too sure Ft. Mill is super strong Clemson territory, being basically a Charlotte suburb. Tennessee has always done well in the area. Also don't see Alabama being a huge draw for a punter from that area either. I'd say Tennesse has a decent chance of holding on to him.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I hope he never sees the field.

 

[vol-un-tear]

kick the ball delong into the skyler

fyp

 

[MurphyVol]

Butch has plenty of flaws, but we've had excellent special teams during his tenure

 

[OneVolNation]

Welcome, Skyler DeLong!

I guarantee you Trevor Daniel's going to the NFL so that should
keep Tennessee top of mind when scouts look at the one who
takes over for him. I'm excited to watch him kick!

Yeah, let's brainstorm some good nicknames.


Skyler "High and Long" DeLong
Skyler "All Vol" DeLong

Someone could do a remix of Big Tymers #1 Stunna

with The "#1 Punter! what what what!"
