What’s your best round of golf?
There was a time in college where I could hit low 80’s. I’m a low 90’s kinda guy these days. Recently joined a country club in Birmingham so maybe that’ll give me an excuse to go play more.

Absolutely buddy. Glad to do it.
I had punted since 8th grade. Ended up going to a few kicking camps early on during that time and won them all so my parents and I figured we should pursue it.
I didn’t want to risk getting hurt playing any other positions my senior year to be honest. I had an offer in hand from State so it just seemed to make the most sense.
I never really had to place kick in high school as we always seemed to have a pretty good soccer player that could do it.
Punting just kinda came natural to me. I remember being in 5th and 6th grade and could punt spirals and turn them over.
+1 for the first time I've ever seen the term "buddy" used on a message board as a positive.

Is there a certain moment in a home game where you distinctly remember the crowd being louder than any other time?

I'm glad to see that I am responsible for a thread that's about to go to 6 pages. Hey DS, am I going to get some of that flat screen money?

What’s the trick to getting a punt to turnover? Supreme athletic ability?

So what is the secret to getting a punt to turn over? Supreme athletic ability?

ETA: Don’t know what I screwed up on this reply.

It’s really a simple formula. Just hard to do.
You gotta hit the sweet spot of the ball (turned at 11 o clock or so) with the middle and side part of your foot.

And we’re back by popular demand with another Ask Me Anything. Odd subjects encouraged.

For those that missed the first round a few years back - I played for Mississippi State from 2009-2013 as punter.

I'm here to answer your questions on the topics of but not limited to: Football, Dale’s, mole crickets, and if punters are actually people.

I'll be answering as I get time throughout the day(s) based off work so please bear with me if it takes a little while.

Disclaimer - Responses are subject to a heavy dose of sarcasm.

It's super cool that you did this once but twice is unbelievable! I love how much you love State and the peeps that have been on this board way longer than me! Thanks Swede!!
