Re: Kicker/Punter questions


Feb 22, 2017, 10:12 AM

Do we offer scholarships to kickers/punters out of high school or do they have to "earn" a scholarship once on campus?

Reason I am asking is because I talked with a highly rated kicking recruit yesterday (who is a Clemson fan btw) who told me he is visiting SCar this weekend and may choose them if they offer a scholarship.

I am interested in seeing what you guys think regardless of what we do.

Do you offer a scholarship to a kicker/punter out of high school to get a highly rated one or do you go the walk-on and earn a scholarship route?

What do other elite programs do?

we mostly do the walk-on route

but we have offered scholarships to kickers in the past. Lakip and Spence were offered scholarships. Catman was a walkon and Huegel were walk ons who earned scholarships. I wished we would have not offered a scholarship to Spence and let him walk on that way we wouldn't have 2 scholarships tied to two place kickers in the same class.

We will probably award a scholarship to whoever wins the punting job (hopefully Spiers). We don't currently have any offers that I'm aware of for future kickers.


I think I like the walk-on route better. Lakip was a head case, and Spence didn't beat out Huegel. There are always drawbacks though...Teasdall wasn't a great punter but he got the job done and did very good in the playoff and championship game.

It is always a judgement call...

We do offer kickers or punters out of HS. Only the most highly-rated among kickers get full scholarship offers. Alex Spence is our backup and he was a full offer as far as I know. We recruit a lot more as walk-ons, preferred walk-ons. The competition produces the starter.
