5 * ? Well, if he can directionally kick, pin the. down and has hang time, he IS a 5 star in my book. All those Colquitt boys at UT were absolute weapons at P.

Sweet. Having a good punter is better than having a crappy one.

Having an excellent punter is a game changer!
Along with our Defense, a booming punter can keep an opponent pinned down the whole game, and wreck their game plan. Keeps our offense playing on a short field. Can wear out an opponent.

I hope this young man is as memorable like Dale Hatcher was…..

Pinion was absolutely a game changer.

I remember a game against UNC and we were trailing late in the game with 4th and long at midfield. We lined up in punt formation (when most teams would have gone for it in that situation) and a couple of tarholes sitting beside me asked why we were punting. I told him that's one of the best punters in college football and he's going to pin you inside the 5, you're going to have a 3 and out and punt it back to us, and we're going to win the game. After it played out just as I said, the guy patted me on the shoulder and said "you called it" as they got up and left.

A 5 star punter gives you options and can flip the field when the offense is struggling.

Kicking snapping and punting have their own ratings and services who rate players typically after attending camp. It won’t count on the 247 composite rating but good kicking specialist make a huge difference

Definitely needed this! A punter who can flip field position is important in games the offense can’t move the ball.

247 does not have him listed.
ESPN does not have him listed.
Rivals does not have him listed.
There is a Jackson Smith who committed to Kentucky.

And for the record - a 5 star punter has different meaning than 5 star ranking.

Delighted to have him, but when did they start rating punters with 5 stars?

I think he is the #5 ranked punter in the country .... not a 5*. I could be wrong.

Wow, special teams are completely set, with the news of the 2 massive 2022 commits this summer!

I know we have had some complementary Kicker/punter tandems recently but this is taking it back to the 80's Ford Era. Go Tigers!!
