Kicking Game


Recommended Posts

Dug up a few tidbits on Connor Culp.

 

He was LSU’s guy in 2017 but was behind 2nd team all American Cole Tracy in 18/19.

2017

20 of 23 extra points

11 of 16 field goals, 47 yard long

Composite 3*, #9 in country by 247 & #4 by Scout

In high school, 63 of 67 kickoffs for touchback.

 

Sounds like an upgrade for the Huskers. Toss in the Aussie and our kicking game may not be an embarrassment.

Meet Connor Culp, Nebraska’s new kicker who vows to learn from his errors at LSU

 

 

Quote

 

LINCOLN, Neb. — Connor Culp answered deliberately, like a 22-year-old with a national championship ring on order and the perspective gathered from two seasons on the bench at LSU after his quick rise and fall as a freshman with the Tigers in 2017.

 

The question: When you first considered transferring to Nebraska, what did you think of its kicking situation last year?

 

“It was definitely unique,” Culp said. “And a very unfortunate situation. Kicker is one of those positions where you don’t know you really have one until you don’t. And then you understand how big they are and the role they play in the game.”

Coach Scott Frost hired Jonathan Rutledge in February from Auburn to serve as a senior special teams analyst. Rutledge will coordinate the kicking game by delegating responsibility to assistant coaches. The kickers will likely report directly to Rutledge.

 

According to Culp, the Huskers’ renewed commitment to special teams “is the highest I’ve been around.”
