Class of 2015 Punter Sterling Hofrichter(FL) Signed LOI

[Ottoble]

Great day for a FL kid to be on campus. Foot of snow coming.

Actually snow was last night today is a Chamber of Commerce "Winter is Great in Syracuse!" day with sun and snow on the tree branches.

I see that he can Kick and punt in his video, if he can do both on the D-1 Level that would be a scholarship well spent. Syracuse always had an advantage with punters and kickers as we generally offer scholarships to them while the big boys often only offer preferred walk on status until you are the starter or not at all.

 

[orangeinohio]

It looks like he's punting 60 yards.

 

[bnoro]

saving a scholarship by having one guy do both would be nice...

 

[Noexcuse]

So is he a late add to this class?

No. 2015...look up.

 

[Noexcuse]

No. 2015...look up.

Yeah, saw that. Saw Phat's post and was wondering. Also, saw your first post and it said something about 2012 top tier kicker. At any rate, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hey.. we aim to confuse.

It doesn't look like this prospect was on campus today

I like having two. A primary punter and a primary kicker. You hope each can do all three jobs reasonably well in a pinch (KO, FG, Punt). Having them athletic is a plus. Riley is a big kid (built like a TE) and he can lay a hit on. Ross (while small) is fast and can push a long returner out of bounds or ankle tackle him.

I worry about who will fill in in case of injury. Got to have a Plan B.

 

[ImperialOrange]

The kid seems to have a big leg. I'm really pleased to see that the staff recognizes the importance of the kicking game by extending an early offer. IMO a good punter is invaluable when you play the sort of low-scoring, field position games that SU does,

To be fair, I think our oc plans on needing someone to kickoff quite a bit vs punting.

LOL. It would be great if our KO guy had to sit in an ice bath after games because he saw so much action.

Do SEC schools give kickers scholarships?

Do SEC schools give kickers scholarships?

yes, by the way of bagmen

No officials though ... I know the family of the kid that walked on at South Carolina ... Fry ... most of the time its walkons unless he is really special.
