I've done some research and found out that newly signed special teams recruits Jake Collett and Mikey Bukauskas struggled through their senior seasons. Jake converted 9 out of 19 field goal attempts this season while also missing several PAT attempts. Mikey had a punting average of 35 yards per punt. Is this really scholarship-worthy?

Hot take specialists should never be put on scholarship until they prove it. 
 

3 wasted scholarships. 
 

Get a mason Shipley every year 

With going to 105 schollys (which seems more and more likely) theyll probably portal K and P again. Dont want to bank on a freshman like we did in 2024 with P.

9 of 19? Yikes if true.

Did Australia run out of punters? Hopefully the new guy gets to develop a year or two before he is the front-line punter.

I hope that's true, otherwise you just wasted two scholarships on these guys. Seems like in this day and age you can just portal K and P. 

Not worried about the punter. 

He's damn good and talented

That field goal kicker must have regressed from his Junior year. That stat is horrible.

What is your source for these stats?

hopefully it was a snap/hold situation that was the problem, missing PATs at any level is cause for concern.

I watched each game streamed on NFHS. There were a few games available on YouTube, like Prosper vs Allen from last month.

Arch will handle.

Watch the fourth quarter.

That’s some solid work. That fg percentage is a head scratcher for sure.
