Daily Debate: Best UM Special Teams Player ever?

[ChinstrapCane]

Most people will automatically say Devin Hester (he was awesome), but what about Tremain Mack, or any of the great kickers UM had over the years like Carlos Huerta? Before you say I'm nuts, hear me out. Tremain Mack was an unbelievable ST player who blocked kicks in really big moments that actually swung games.

Mack and Huerta were great. They’re no Hester though.

Changed the kick returning game in both CFB and NFL.

Hester has a gold jacket and it wasn’t because of his receiving ability.

 

[JSmoot]

Santana Moss (6 punt returns for TD leads UM, 4 in one season).

Kevin Williams should get some love too.

 

[CANEFAN83]

It was probably Hester but Tremain Mack was an amazing athlete and kick blocker plus he played defensive back. Just such an impact player like Hester. I would still say Hester based on the returns and his speed and playmaking ability.

Borregales disrespect is crazy.

 

[JD08]

Probably should have been best not named Hester.

Matt Bosher..... and Hester

 

[bacane]

Mack and Bosher. Folks either don’t know or have forgotten Mack. Bosher was just crazy dependable and rare tackling demon.

after Hester, Matt Bosher. MVP of the 2008 team. Punter and Kicker and elite tackler

 

[Thehoundnsb]

Freddie Capshaw…..end of discussion

 

[FuriousStyles]

Not the **** pick but… the kicker who just left is the all-time scoring leader so I guess he’d be in the conversation.

You mean 2nd best behind Ray Ray Joseph right?

Agree, but would add Borregalas in with Mack and Huerta.

260 pound returner.

I thought it was a joke till I seen that wide-body in the endzone.

The funny thing was his KR average wasn't bad. He just was never gonna break one.

Honorable mention who hasn't been mentioned...Anthony Reddick had a nice freshman season on special teams.

He was a central character in The Hound of the Baskervilles
