Kickers come to the summer camps just like any other position player. They are evaluated and given consideration by the coaches. I believe most are offered a preferred walk-on position that usually leads to a scholarship, although we have outright given scholarships in the past.

Doesnt matter if he is a 1-star or a 5-star, punt coverages today is such that there is NO ROOM to return a punt. In the pros, you see them more cause they outkick their coverage. As long as Artavis Scott is out there, I dont worry about it.

ACTUALLY, as close as a 5* as you'll see.........

Not that I know anything about recruiting but....
One should keep an eye on in Austin Kent from Charlotte. While he is still being evaluated, Kent averaged 47 yards per punt and 34 of his 38 kickoffs went for a touch back.
Also, keep your eye out for ATH Davondre 'Tank' Robinson on special teams. While it may seem like a stretch, Robinson averaged 49.4 yards per punt, and was 6 of 6 on PATs. He'll likely play safety at the collegiate level. Just tossing that out there...
PLUS, P Will Spiers was on campus for the FSU game and is interested in looking at a preferred walk-on spot but could also lace em' up for the Tiger baseball team as well. A little hint, and we'll keep this strictly between us, he has also played QB and could perhaps execute a fake.... His father is a former punter for Clemson under Danny Ford. He averaged 39.2 yards per punt. Ford called his punter “Shortstop” instead of by his name, and despite playing on the gridiron just one season, his 39.2 punting average ranks 12th all-time at Clemson.
During his Clemson baseball career, Spiers accumulated 17 home runs, 119 RBIs, 34 doubles, 17 triples, and 60 stolen bases in three seasons. A 12-year Major League Baseball veteran with playing stints with the Brewers, Mets and Astros. Spiers has served as an assistant baseball and football coach under Jarecki for the past 13 years. A 2007 inductee into the S.C. Athletic Hall of Fame, Spiers was a first-round draft pick (13th overall) in the 1987 MLB Amateur Draft. He made his Major League debut two years later with the Milwaukee Brewers on April 7, 1989, and went on to play in 1,252 games and compile a .271 career batting average.
Get this, his nephew Glenn Batson committed to play baseball for Clemson in keeping the Tiger legacy-line alive.

Didn't DF actually advertise and have an actual tryout amongst the student body trying to find a punter when he discovered the baseball player Bill Spiers could punt? Would've loved to hear the discussions between DF and Willhelm over that. Haha

TigerBry: Interesting post. Info and film has been sent to Tigers. I saw the film and this kid is the real deal.. I have people who have seen him play and had a hard time believing what they saw. If my memory is correct he's a big kid with lots of upside in leg strength development which will add even more height and distance. hope we hear more about him

Huegel did not miss A field goal in conference. I think that's pretty good. Sure he missed some extra points but that may have been the center or the holders fault as much as his. Then again he attempted 832 extra points and just missed 4.
Also you make it sound like Clemson has both ad good kickers and punters but the last punter is in the NFL and Cantazaro is maybe the best in the NFL. I think they do well getting punters and kickers.

The difference between Pinion and our kickers this year.....
Pinion - 41 kickoffs 816 return yards
2015 - 61 kickoffs 1471 return yards
Solution --- get a kicker that can put the ball 5 yards deep in the endzone OR find some kickoff return coverage guys.

Seems to me that is a difference of 5 yards per return.You could fix it with better coverage!
Or the Freshmen all American Kicker could get stronger.
