Will Russ - #25

[UTExinPDX]

Welcome to UT, Will. Great to have you on board!

 

[salonghorn-70]

What a way to close!!!!!!!!

 

[Jester101]

Icing on the recruiting cake!

[stanhin]

Is he the kicker?

 

[Dr_Bob_Rio]

Yes, he is the kicker.

 

[bevaux]

Kicker AND punter !!

 

[Bill in Sinton]

I am so happy! Of course I am sure there are a lot of happy Horn fans out there.

 

[Bill in Sinton]

He is a triple threat kicker like Russell Erxleben. I saw his video and he can kick field goals and extra points, punt and kickoff. His punts and kickoffs are high and long and have great hang time.

 

[Bill in Sinton]

Does anyone know why he got interested in us? I have heard it was because Arkansas got another kicker commit. Either way I am happy we got him.

 

[Horn87]

Welcome, Mr Russ

 

[kgp]

Recruiting game extra point good. If we sign all our commits, this is quite a haul. Welcome Mr. Russ and all young Longhorns!

 

[Orange Marrow]

If he can reduce the number of long returns on kickoffs this year compared to last year by half (by way of forcing touchbacks), he would become one of the most important members of this class--and that's saying something.

Wow, what a week this has been: three recruits in less than three days of the final week of the recruiting season.

 

[ghostofbevo]

...so I guess we could say he'll be doing some KP duty!

(LOL...kicking and punting, NOT kitchen prep...?)

 

[OldHippie]

Congratulations and welcome.

 

[Bill in Sinton]

Good point Chest!

 

[Dude]

Getting just about everything you want is sorta fun.

Welcome aboard Russ, hope you kick a zillion extra points for us.

Highlights from his first 5 games this year

Nice to see kickoffs (even though they are from the 40, not the 30) going way out of the endzone.

 

[71grad]

A top notch kicker is a great way to fill out this class. With Hicks, this makes two excellent OOS pickups to end recruiting. That makes up for some past disappointments.

 

[Horn-N-LA]

Watching that link, there was one of him playing 3B for the baseball team. Any word of him going out for baseball as well?

 

[UTFAN4EVER]

Changed from Ark. to UT. Smart boy!
