So this kid's punts averaged 42.08 yds last year and we averaged 38.6 yds as a team. Could be a nice improvement. And just for extra info our opponents averaged 43.3 yds last year.

I'm probably wrong but... there has got to be some former HS soccer player currently on campus that could punt that far and would love to play as a non-scholly player.

I'm pretty sure King is a walk-on, so he's not costing us a schollie and he actually has experience punting a football in a live game.

You're pretty sure?? Hmmm, how do you know? When coaches go out & solicit this kid to come to Texas, usually a scholarship is involved. Besides, Texas is under the limit (of 85) going into the summer/fall year, so it really doesn't matter!

Are you pretty sure he's not? does it say in that article that he is on scholly? BevoBeat says walk-on.

I'm not saying he is or isn't! Besides, it really doesn't matter since Texas will be under the limit.

You know what, I guess I'm wrong. I was fairly certain I read here or on OB that he was a walk-on but after reading the articles again it doesn't say that. The BevoBeat article is the only one that mentions him being a walk-on.

Not necessarily, especially when it comes to kickers and punters. I remember a couple past instances where the staff went out to recruit kickers as non-scholarship players. The only one I remember is Trey DiCarlo, who ended up at OU.
