He’s dyslexic and therefore accidentally only worked out his non-punting leg.

Bonecrusher makes MC football history as varsity freshman
“He’s a dog,” said junior defensive lineman for the varsity football team and recruit of multiple elite college programs, Braeden Jones. “He’s been doing everything for us. I love having that kid around.” Late in the summer of this football off-season the varsity team welcomed an unexpected...

Depends on Hugh. But this does highlight the value of Fabrizio Pinton (K/P) and the 105 man roster.
Let's hope it has a better track record than the other third party that was regulating eligibility to level the playing field. I think it was called the NCAA, if I remember correctly.
Both Hugh and Fabrizio have another year I believe.

This would be a really good add.
Me too. I remember following his recruitment and being really excited when we got him. I assumed he would be the starter following his first season and possibly sooner than that.
Do any insiders know what happened with this one? I don't see how someone who went to all the high profile kicking camps and was regarded by some as the top punter in the nation his last year at El Paso, could be 3rd string on our team.

He was the 3rd string punter, maybe worse.

Went to my high school, years after I was there of course. Ended up at Georgia, I think. Is he in the portal?

Hmm, does this mean they don't feel comfortable about getting the other TE, or are they just covering their back side just in case?
Have you seen his offers??

That's fine, but i don't see them taking 2 TE's, or will they? what if both said yes to us?
His offers are quite impressive. Ole Miss, LSU, South Carolina and Colorado to name a few.
And Rusk is coming back from a serious injury.
I would take Atkins over Koziel. Guy looks like he is built for the B1G.

This season it seemed like it, but I get the questions because this is a kid who came out of high school supposedly able to consistently punt for over 50 yds with just about a 5 second hang time. I mean there were good reasons he was rated so highly coming out of high school.
I'd think most people would understand if this was more about him expecting to start this year and didn't get the chance and is unhappy about it than he all of a sudden is not a good punter. Or that he got a substantial offer from someone else. Different position and case obviously, but if you get the #2 QB or RB recruit in the nation, and they leave after a year and the fans are told it's because they aren't good, it's going to raise some eyebrows. I don't think it's odd fans are going to be asking questions about this one. Just saying.

Need to prepare for the Sutter/Anderson offense in 2026-9....
They won’t take 2. Doesn’t mean you don’t offer multiple
How does BB work multiple offers. Is it first one who accepts or does the kid who gets first offer has to x date and then it is fair game?
My guess would be “it depends.”
