KSU (I think) had a kicker last name Grammatica nicknamed Automatica. He never missed. Size-wise, Automatica made this kicker lool like a giant!

Alex Calleja
5-9, 140
duPont Manual HS, Louisville, KY

FWIW, I read on another UT board that Calleja "...only played one year of football & switched over from soccer but this kid sure has potential and from what I hear is planning to try and walk on."

Hit 3 of 3 FGAs and 33 of 34 PATs:
Alex Calleja - Highlight Videos, Schedule & Roster - Hudl

Calleja tweeted yesterday that he's been accepted into UT's Chancellor's Honors Program.

At 5'9" and 140 pounds, I hope he's wirely. ( to use the quote from the movie Replacements)

:yes:

:good!:

you don't have to be big to kick a ball. He's around the same size as Martin Gramatica (who hit a 65 yarder in college)

Not sure how much Martin weighed in college, but he was listed at 170lbs in the NFL.

I believe MP would like to be the punter, he has proven his skills in the punting game.

Leverage of a shorter kicker allows better height on his kicks, height of his hip rotation

Agree, switch it up. Palardy punts, Brodus, Bullock and the new guys battle for kicking duties. Rumors that Bullock has a big leg but Palardy had those same rumors so who knows.

Did say on his twitter yesterday day that he wanted to " MAKE PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT I AM A TENNESSEE VOLUNTEER". Need his autograph/John Hancock/ink on the loi so we can move on .... I still hate Meyer.

Just so long as Palardy never gets anywhere near a freakin goalpost/upright. Let him punt I guess but NO pats or fgs please.

Unfortunately, the only way to make it official for a walk-on is enrolling in school. I'm wondering if Butch should extend a scholarship offer to cement the deal.

Exactly, the LOI is only for scholarship players. But since we have the room for this year I do think CBJ should extend the offer but make it clear that its only for 1 year and if he wants to keep it he has to earn his way to being the starting kicker. If he can earn his way to the starting spot and prove himself worthy of being a kicker in major college football I would have no problem with him keeping it for the other 3 years.
