We need a punter or place-kicker who has a real strong lag. Here’s a guy with great lag but I’m not sure he’s available to kick for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be an excellent replacement as a recruiter, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bg5 536 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I heard the kicker from Thompson committed to us but I haven't seen anything. Not sure if it was for preferred walk on or a scholly. Either way that is a great pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,545 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'd guess as a walk on, probably a preferred walk on. It's not at all unusual for walkons to do a commitment announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kick's it through the end zone most of the time. Can kick long accurate Field Goals. Not a punter though. He did punt for Thompson but wasn't great at it. But it will be interesting to see who kicks off next year unless he red shirts because I think he is the upper 90% on touchbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg5 536 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Also heard today that there is a chance Thompson's QB my walk on. Not sure why he isn't being looked at by many. I thought he was really good this year. To me head to head with Ashford he was the better QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched him live in Jordan Hare for the state championship, and he absolutely balled out! I would love to have a story like his (unrecruited 0-star) come in and surprise folks and be a star. Obviously not saying that’ll happen; just that I think it’d be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great arm, accurate and it looks like he has the height as well. He ran decent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked that he wasn’t being recruited when I looked him up during that game. He looked every bit of the part. Could be a great diamond in the rough. He’s obviously a winner, and I would love to have him at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess, but maybe they want him to RS, like Carlson did, get in the weight room, and depending on whether Carlson has a great 2020 and might try to go pro, then McGregor will have had a year or 2 working on his kicking and maybe even punting. Unless coaches think they can make him into a SEC punter(quickly), I don't see this filling our punting need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Evan committed to Auburn today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,127 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Evan is a kicker first and a punter second as only averaged around 36 yards a punt. My youngest boy plays rugby and does a lot of the kicking for his men's team as he often plays fullback for them. As a Junior in HS some years back he could consistently punt in the 35-38 yard range then he started to fill out and by the time he started to play Rugby at the club level after HS he could easily punt 40+ yards with great hang time when he wanted to. In Rugby you seldom just punt for distance and hang time as there are all kinds of different kick depending on what you are trying to do. What I am trying to say is if Evan has good form and works hard the balance of this year he could easily add 5-6 yards to his punting average and might be an option.
