Special teams?
Blah, who cares about special teams, especially enough to read about punting and kicking recruits, RegularJoe Fan says.
Well, I can tell you based on 20 years experience in the industry, the college coaches paid millions to win football games don’t share that sentiment.
A last second field goal or a field position changing punt late in the fourth quarter often proves the difference between winning or losing, particularly in Power 5 football games.
That’s why Louisville coach Jeff Brohm is always on the lookout for the next Klaus Wilmsmeyer or Art Carmody.
Over the weekend, two of the top 2024 kicking specialists made unofficial visits to Louisville and Patrick Durkin and Jakob Gump told Cardinal Confidential that they would love to play for Brohm’s program in the near future.
