Starting kicker at Purdue the past four seasons and All-Conference choice as a senior, winning the Ray Guy Award as the top punter in the land. Connected on 80% of his field goals last season with a long of 50 yards, while also averaging 50.2 yards on 13 punts.
Triple threat prospect that can kick field goals, punt and kick off. Strong legged athlete that gets excellent hang time on his punts, has return specialists playing back on their heels and punts his teams out of jams at times. Solid with his kick offs, gets the ball into the end zone or gives opponents only a slight opportunity at big returns. Not quick getting the ball off his foot, has great difficulty directing his punts and with the overall placement of his kicks. Need to fine tune his techniques and rely on more than just kicking the air out of the ball. If he does so, will be in the league for a long time. Late Sixth Round.
