BIG ERN Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Position: Kicker Hometown: Boca Raton, Florida School: West Boca Raton Currently committed to Wake Forest, but Bo Pelini is visiting him tomorrow. Rivals Scout says he is one of the top kicker/punters in the country. ESPN has him 9th best kicker. Link to comment
nhuskers5 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I just read his ESPN profile, he sounds very similar to Kunalic....giant leg, struggles with accuracy. He can punt too Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Seriously why are we so focused on a kicker? I mean I know we just lost Henery, but we have a number of Kickers/Punters to make a run at being the kicker next year. Then you add in the fact that we have Jase Dean who was redshirted as a walk-on, and I really don't see the need for a kicker this year. Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Jason Dann. Actually, I always get those guys mixed up too. Always want to write 'Jase Dann' but then think 'wait...' Dean is a cornerback. Dann, hope he turns out to be the next great kicker at Nebraska. Adi would be good insurance now, and so would another kicker, like a top scholarship kid. We'll miss Alex for sure either ways and now's as good a time as any to try to soften the drop. Link to comment

bournehusker Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I highly doubt we would be after a kicker this hard if we had any confidence that anyone currently on the squad could consistently boom kickoffs like adi or perhaps the problem is accuracy but either way I'd say we need a kicker.

n.e.husker Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Bondi is now deciding whether or not to visit Lincoln prior to national signing day next Wednesday. His leg strength isn't of any question. Highlight footage can be found on the Internet of him booming kickoffs through end zones and making field goals of greater than 60 yards. "He's probably the most underrated guy out there," his kicking coach, Brandon Kornblue, told Rivals.com. http://huskerextra.com/sports/football/recruiting/article_b229bdb9-ac9b-536c-bfb0-07445333b51e.html Link to comment
