Welp, his letter list is very impressive in terms of academic schools (Princeton, Harvard, etc.). Might as well get a top-tier punter that they are going to need to put on scholarship eventually and raise the team GPA while they are at it. Remember ... teams will be ineligible for post season play if they don't meet a certain academic requirement. I personally think it's a good move.

Thank you!!! I'm so happy we got a punter. With all the recruiting talk, people slept on us gettin a punter that was needed.
frank E was a beast punter but I don't want my punter doubling as a wide out.

Story out front.

From your story ... “It's just a scholarship and I'd be starting my freshman year up there," Townsend said. "I’ll be punting all four years and Coach (Urban) Meyer will be coaching me directly."
- What about Ben Buchannan? <<< -- Never mind, he's a senior. My bad.

Good hang time, but a little short. Hopefully that will improve.

The kid still has another year of High School to add a few yards to his distance. However, Anything 40+ yards with good hang time should be OK with Urban fixing our problems on the coverage unit.

Eagle Scout and member of National Honor Society. I like that. We could have the best punter and long snapper in the country together in September 2013. Nice combination.
