This article talks about the kid who currently is trying to win the punting job. http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/journalgazette/sports/colleges/14188988.htm
Thanks for the article Sid. He's probably the only kid in history that had been committed to Texas and changed that commit to Notre Dame. I remember the "thunderfoot" hype that the kid got and wondered how soon he'd be booming them in the shadow of Touchdown Jesus. When he couldn't beat out Fitzpatrick for the job, not to disparge DJ he was a good punter, I wondered what was going on. Now I know! We certainly need him to become the kicker we thought he would when Willingham pulled him away from Mack Brown. Terry
8) Other spots to watch: - RT: Turkovich (sp?) and Mattes need to win this spot before Sam Young gets there, or he may own that position for a long time... -KR: Little George West made his fame as a HS kickoff/punt returner. CW will give him a long look at doing that for the Irish... -QB: Sharpley and Wolke see the writing on the wall. One of them needs to earn the backup QB job now, or one of the incoming frosh may position himself as Quinn's eventual replacement... -LB: Crum Jr. will start somewhere and backup everywhere. Vernaglia could help a lot if he wins the Apache job. Either way, incoming Toryan Smith will be given a crack at the starting middle LB position... ........JO'Co
