A new pair of specialists figures to give the Notre Dame football team a leg up on the competition this season.
The departure of Kyle Brindza, Notre Dame's kicker for the past three years, has opened the door for highly-touted freshman kicker Justin Yoon, the No. 1 ranked kicker in the class of 2015.
Yoon, who hails from Milton Academy in Massachusetts, fought off an injured back during his senior year to make four of his six field goal attempts. According to Slap the Sign, Yoon converted a 52-yarder last seeason and registered a touchback on 80 percent of his kickoffs.
