One word to describe Brian Kelly: Outstanding.
The one thing I won’t miss about the recruiting process: "The stress of it. As a punter and a kicker, it's a little different. You only have one scholarship per school per every four years or so. It is a limited deal."

NFL player comparison: Rams punter Johnny Hecker. "I've trained with him. I train with the same guy that he trains with ... The technique is short steps, the way you explode through the ball and different styles of punting."
Expectations for my freshman season: "I am not holding anything back. I want to help the team and put them in the best position to win the game, pinning their offense back and giving the defense a good position to start. And averaging very well and putting it close to the sideline."
