On
January 16th UND.com posted an article "20 Questions for Notre Dame Football for 2015". This is question 6.
6. Kyle Brindza
leaves as the Notre Dame career leader in field goals (57) and he was no slouch
as a punter the last two seasons either. Tyler Newsome
will be the lone scholarship player for those spots
during spring drills. So, what’s the future of the Irish special teams
when it comes to punts, field goals and PATs?
Answer;
 |
| Justin Yoon #3 |
After signing day the answer is much more clear; Justin Yoon. Yoon is the #1 rated kicker coming out of
high school. There is no question about
his leg strength or his accuracy, check out this video,
the question will be about his mental toughness under the pressure of the
college kicking game. This sounds
similar to exiting kicker Kyle Brindza.

| Tyler Newsome |
As much confidence I have that Yoon is not only the
future (and current answer) for kickoffs, field goals and PAT's I believe that Tyler
Newsome, who is also on scholarship is the answer for punting
in South Bend. Newsome came to Notre
Dame at the #4
rated punter coming out of high school.
With two young kickers with potential the future of
the kicking game is bright.
