After starting the season as the team’s number three kicker, walk-on Wesley Wells has beaten out Brenton King and Shawn Davis as the Jackets’ kicker. According to Coach Johnson, Wells won the job in practice last week, and then showed he could replicate in-game by going 9 for 9 on extra point tries in Saturday’s win over Bowling Green. Shawn Davis will continue to do kickoffs for the team, leaving Brenton King, the only scholarship kicker, without a responsibility. Any consistency at the placekicking spot would be a huge boon to the Jackets hopes of bringing this season back from the 1-3 start.
