You can never have enough kickers, so let’s meet today’s player, a walk-on from Kentucky.
Noah Brunner – Fr. (RS)
Shelbyville, KY (Collins HS)
6’, 194 pounds
Kicker
2017 Projection: Reserve kicker
J.D. Dellinger has the top spot on lockdown at kicker, but there is always a spot for another kicker to make the field. If a kicker can regularly make it to the end zone on kickoffs, thus eliminating returns, they can be a sole kickoff specialist. This has been an area where Purdue has struggled in recent years, so perhaps Brunner can contribute there.
