Zips Get Punter/Kicker Commit


Recommended Posts

Per the PD this Morning

I couldn't find the column link, but until someone does, trust me. :D

Scout indicated a scholarship offer from UA a few days ago. It didn't look like anyone else had offered at the time. It's interesting that this class will apparently have TWO kicker/punters (not that we don't need the help, particularly at kicker).

With Ianello's penchant for field goals, and our stagnant offense, UA is nirvana kickers and punters!

There are few things i get more excited for than punting/kicking with the Zips.

As bad as our kicking was, our punting was that good last year. It would be nice to have both be good for once, it's so important for a team to do both well (ask Buchtel High School's football team about that).

It may be Nirvana, and I-Boy may be desperate, but neither of these guys is ranked in the top 100 kickers. in their class. And they're only #28 and 48 among punters. Do you call these "projects"?

from the link above

Jan- Zach Paul, a K/P from Padua Franciscan High School in OH, has received a Gray shirt Scholarship Offer from The University of Akron. Zach is a talented kicker and punter that can do both at the collegiate level. Zach Has been coming to camps for the last few years and we are very excited for Zach and the Paul Family.

so his scholarship will go on next years books.

:screwks:

Not directly related to Zach Paul, but this Youngstown Vindicator writer reports that Fox's HS coach thinks AJ will be the starting punter (I wonder what Zach Campbell thinks about this) and possible kickoff specialist for the Zips next year. Of course, any HS coach is going to talk "up" his own player. The question remains.....who will handle FGs and extra points? Maybe this is where Zach Paul comes in.
