Daniel is an extremely talented kicker. Has the biggest leg in the nation. Hits a great ball off the ground and his kickoffs are D1 ready right now. A great athlete that has a big college future. Also mentally very strong.

Getting the top kickers in the country is important. Some people don't think so, but these guys can be the difference between winning and losing a tight game.

Dang straight! I started to count the games a kicker has made the game-winner....it's ALOT! And of course...the Robert McGinty miss in the Iron Bowl :(

Welcome & WDE!

Very nice pickup and another move in what is going to be a strong class in 2013.

Hutchinson is the nation's top punter, Carlson is the nation's top pure kicking prospect according to Kohl's Kicking Academy.

Yes, well, the subject of kickers is a long conversation. Nice commits for our special teams though. I was in geology class with McGinty and although I never heard anybody say anything to him after that Ironbowl miss, the eye daggers were obvious. After he transfered to UF he kicked a FG against us that was the difference in the game. I enjoyed some schadenfreude though when he missed against LSU, costing UF that game. Go figure. It took FSU a decade of signing top kickers to get over the wide-lefts/wide-rights that probably cost them 3 nat'l titles.

Glad we signed the countries best PK. The kickers are way more importnat to the teams success than the recruiting orgs give them credit for.

Signing Day surpise. I sort of expected the kickers to flip with no Special Teams coach and knowing this staff does not particularly like giving schollies to kickers. But probably kind of late for a kicker to flip. War Eagle Daniel !!! I for one is glad you stuck with Auburn.
