So Trickett isn't returning? Or is he out of eligibility?

So Trickett isn't returning? Or is he out of eligibility?

This guy is a PWO with 3 years of eligibility left. I believe Trickett has 1. So I don't believe it means one or the other.

Thanks!

Perhaps he kicks long field goals for a year then takes over full time once Trickett is gone. Trickett struggled from deep.

In Fleck we trust as to what is going on.

Gophs put their Kickoff specialist on scholarship.

Possible that the new kicker goes on scholarship at some point in the future when a kicking slot opens up on the scholarship grid.

What is the estimated current value of a scholarship for a year?

He is a career 5/5 on 45+ yarders. Will be a nice compliment to Trickett next year and then full time starter the next two years.

This is a nice pickup, especially as just a PWO.

Would think it is this, and that seems to be what he did at Ball State as well.

So we now have these positions:
Punter
Snapper
Kickoff Kicker
Short FG/XP Kicker
Long FG Kicker

I'm really hoping we're not spending more than 3 scholarships on these.

Kicking game is so important that I am good with using whatever scholarships we need to in order to make sure we have quality players at those positions. If that means using up 4/5 scholarships then so be it.
