I've been waiting all week to watch punter highlights! YES!

But seriously, I hope we get this dude. Must be quite athletic to be a punter/WR.

 

[ISUCubswin]

I think Kirby is going to punt here the rest of his life.

Get you pumped for football doesn't it His WR highlights are on there as well. Needless to say he might be one of the faster punters ISU has had.
IIRC, Vanderkamp was a pretty good HS WR as well

 

[ISUCY23]

Yay a BCS offer!

 

[SNEDDS3]

He has a little bit of speed on him too.

 

[zwclones51]

oh em gee. oh em gee. oh em gee.

This guy has a BCS D1 offer. OMG.

This guy would prove that CPR is not on Empty and has replenished his windshield washer fluid!

Is he originally from the States? I can't recall ever seeing an Aussie style punter from the US (I'm sure it has happened, just not common).

Our Quarterback my senior year was also our punter, and played strong safety. He could have went D-1 at any of those positions had he not had chronic back injuries. I think it's rare in high school to have someone that is exclusively a punter.

I can't wait until our offense is potent enough that we don't need to carry a punter on the roster!

LOL yes. That is the Dowling style of punt. Used Connor Bravard to do it the previous year who was the 4A player of the year. Having an athletic punter is a dangerous weapon.

I'm sure CPR wants a punter who can run and pass :yes:

Baylor had a punter a few years back win the ray guy award. Daniel sepulveda was his name. He ran a 4.5 40 and cranked out 20+ reps at 225 at the NFL combine. This was when baylor was awful, so as to why he didn't play another position, I have no idea.

Hope we get him.
In a random story. There was this kid in my school that in 8th grade, could punt 55 yards in the air. Football coach saw him doing it over and over and convinced him to play football. Unfortunately being in a severely messed up family and having serious mental issues stacked on his almost complete absence of how football is played, ended in total failure. Shame, would have had a serious leg by the time he graduated.

No thanks...can't punt while rolling out to his right...

You're asking for about 10 Cool Story Bro, GIFS. with that story. Haha

 

[CycoCyclone]

am I crazy or are those punts pretty short, with good hops?

 

[CyBer]

Dowling sucks, end of contribution towards thread.

Averaged just over 37 yards with very, VERY few return yards given up. Nothing super special.
However he has blown up at camps this summer and killing the ball and that's what is leading to his offers.
I would add that his strength is probably location with his punts and his ability to finesse the ball.
