New Story Hawkeyes sign punter Tory Taylor

Well, hopefully he's accurate as well. Booming it down the field is one thing, pinning them inside the 10 is another. Both equally important.
How does the recruitment work? Someone from Iowa go there to observe or did he come here, or we rely on someone in Australia to evaluate? Been there one time and it was a hellish long flight. Had to go to their west coast so once got to Sydney had to fly another 5 hours to get to their west coast to Perth. Great country and people.
22 years old, on the football team, australian accent...
He is going to put up huge numbers in Iowa City and I ain't talking about on the football field.

No, Iowa is no longer an option for Gavin Meyers, who they were recruiting as a PWO before.
Can't you see from his Instagram post he has a girlfriend. There will be 0 scoring, no fake punts, etc.
Has been a great addition. One thing I worry about though....he seems to have a super low trajectory off of his foot and looks like it might cause a problem before long as it looks like it is closer to getting blocked
Iowa has had some very good punters over the last 40 years but the way Tory kills the ball inside the 15 yard line is something we never had. This is in all due respect to Reggie Roby who had a booming leg but i don't recall him being able to plant the opposition like Tory is. Tory's punts don't go bounding into the end zone. They are demoralizing.
I think we have former Aussie San Diego Chargers Punter Darren Bennett to thank for paving the way for Aussies to play American football. That guy was a beast of a punter from the mid-90’s to mid-00’s, and not afraid to lay a hit on an unsuspecting kick returner. He also brought the pooch punt to the league.
It truly is a pleasure to watch Tory punt 🥰
Hilarious reading this thread in retrospect. Fantastic find. I’d be inclined to just order up each of our punters from ProKick Australia, frankly.
