One of the issues this off season is/was Michigan's Punting situation. Now, you may think that isn't an important role or Michigan should be more concerned in other areas. Maybe, but special teams can be the difference in wins and loses and when you have a borderline elite defense and a freshman QB, Special Teams are even more important.
Michigan this off season reportedly, brought in a punter from Missouri named Luke Bauer after Tommy Doman Jr. transferred to Florida. Well, it's unclear if Luke ever made it to Ann Arbor or not.
So now the news breaks, Michigan has added a punter from Clarion University named Hunter Robertson. Hunter averaged 43 yards per punt and also has kick off and place kicking experience. Hunter is from Michigan and grew up in Oakland County.
For those wondering, Clarion is located in Pennsylvania and is a D2 football school.
In a strange twist it looks like it will be a Hunter vs. Hunter Punter Battle in camp for the starting position as Hudson Hollenbeck handled the punting duties in Michigan's Bowl win over Alabama, while Hunter Robertson is just coming in.
Who will be Hunter the Punter? I think the Big Ten Network has reality show just waiting to be shot here! 😀
- Josh Metellus got an extension from the Vikings over the weekend. Much deserved and he ended up being a very good NFL Player.
- With Big Ten Media days over, now its time to focus on camp and getting better every day!
- The Cardinals lose starting cornerback Starling Thomas to a torn ACL, looks like Will Johnson will be CB1 if he is healthy.
- Rod Moore is back to wearing #19
