Miami isn’t recruiting a punter so I assume they will either hit the portal, grad transfer or risk it with a walk on?
Haven’t we experimented enough with letting walk ons kick?

Does his style of punting hurts him as a NFL prospect? If so he should stay the 4/5 years, if not he should be gone after putting 2 years of good tape out there, probably a 7th rounder/Priority UDFA
Not many 62 yards have enough hang time to force a fair catch. That one did making it more impressivethat mf had a 62 yard punt today and I had a PTSDish flashback to Feagles.
Absolutely agree with Ray Guy being the best punter ever. No doubt.In all fairness, in college, Ray Guy had a 93 yard punt against Ole Miss.
For the record, Madden HATED the Raiders punter in 1972, the year before they drafted Guy. That year, the Raiders punter had a punt that was so horrific that it was played repeatedly on The Tonight Show and Johnny Carson made jokes about it.
Fortunately, the Raiders were loaded at nearly every position, they had Stabler, Banaszak, Biletnikoff, and Branch at the skill positions on offense and 3 HOF'ers on the OL.
Plus, the Raiders were coming off the Immaculate Reception.
The first five seasons that Guy played for the Raiders, they went to the AFC Championship Game every year (and won the Super Bowl once). After Madden left, the Raiders then won 2 more Super Bowls under Flores.
Let's not forget, Ray Guy is the ONLY punter in the NFL HOF. Let's hope that Hedley is the second.
Get down under and find another Aussie or New Zealander. Establish that pipeline. They have punting schools in Australia for these kids. It should not be hard with the success of Hedley. He can be the new ambassador. With him in the NFL, we should have plenty of suitors.Yup that's why I'm wondering if we're looking at a way to replace him for next year
He’s def gonna play on Sunday’sDoes he have his degree? If not then he should stay. There are only 32 punting jobs in the NFL and most teams have a solid punter already. It's difficult to catch on with a team and teams don't use practice squad spots on a punter.
HUGE if he actually does it:
For him it’s no rush . Punters can be in the league for a while since there is little punishment on their bodiesMy man is already 33! What else does he have to prove??! Lol. He’s a Darren Bennett reincarnation. Dude is by far the best punter in the nation, and field position is so critical in the NFL being that the league caters to the O. I can see my guy getting drafted in the 3rd which is equivalent to a P getting drafted in the 1st.
Absolutely agree with Ray Guy being the best punter ever. No doubt.
However, I wouldn't take him, Jan Stenerud, or Morten Andersen (the 2 kickers in the HOF) in the first round. Trade down and get him in the 2nd round.
