Mississippi State’s special teams took a hit during the offseason when kicker Evan Sobiesk announced that he was leaving the program in order to attend dental school.
Sobiesk’s move left the competition with senior Devon Bell and walk-ons Westin Graves and Bryce Brown. Graves missed his only attempt last season while Bell hasn’t kicked since 2013.
Finding a consistent kicker has plagued the Bulldogs for the past few seasons and it may be more of the same this fall. I was a little surprised that kicking didn’t hamper them any more than it did last season.
