Nick Grasshoff: Walk-on to watch

[Longhorn Al]

I have heard that Nick Grasshoff K/P from Bowie here in Austin is a preferred walk-on for our Longhorns. He was brought in as a punter, but he wants to show off his placekicking abilities too.

Watch for his name. He's got some talent.

Come on down, Nick...Nebraska's not the only team with a walk-on program...and Mack's already proven he'll reward walk-on's that perform with a schollie.

 

[Les Claypool]

I thought that Callahan blew up the walk on program at NU. Have Osborne/Pellini reconstituted it?

 

[coolhorn]

They're working on it. Horn Husker Dad can tell you more if he gets on this thread.

Iv gone to school with nick for 7 years and I think he is gunna do good things at texas. He told me he is gunna go in as a punter, cause he is ranked in the top 20 punters in texas, and he can kick it far with accuracy

 

[celis]

How good is he gunna be?

 

[Bevo5]

You heard him ...he gunna be real good.

 

[Burnt Orange Bevo]

I certainly hope he'll boom a bunch down the field, but I dunno if he's gunna be that great.

Seriously though, it seems he'll be competing against Justin Tucker, who's supposed to have a great leg also. Best of luck to both of them, I'll be thrilled if either or both of them help us have great specials teams.

 

[That's Right]

It's gunna be fun to watch.

 

[Napoleon]

I'm a fan of a good kicking game.

 

[ImissWallyPryor]

I'm gunna go out on a limb and say that Texas is gunna hafta punt, so we're gunna needa punter.

[pike]

Did you take any english classes with him in school?

 

[13evO]

Perhaps he can be a gunnar along with Tucker on kickoffs. The same concept as you can see from the Chiles Should Starts thread.

 

[LITNIN HORN]

Unlike Napoleon, I prefer a guud kicking game to a good one.

You could say as a wok-on, Nick must first be a pupil of focusness, young Grasshoff-er.

I can't believe I just typed that...
