Positives: Very versatile and can do it all - proved himself a quality kicker and punter. Excellent backspin on punts. Stole the show in the Champs Sports Bowl by dropping four punts inside the 4-yard line and can place the ball with precision. Looks natural as a placekicker. Good range and accuracy. Showed toughness by playing through injury. Negatives: Thinly built. Does not have extensive experience after sitting behind Gary Cismesia for two seasons. Can hasten his get-off as a punter. Will have to prove capable of handling wind and variable weather conditions. Summary: Emerged as a senior and was very consistent. Versatile jack-of-all trades capable of changing games by flipping the field. Grade: Late draftable prospect.	Scouting report provided by Pro Football Weekly.
