Entered the portal, was picked up by the greatest team in the NCAA. Nothing to worry about here.

If Ii was the number2 kicker or punter. I just increased my workouts! I don’t want to look bad and I sure as heck know the old number three did!

The portal sucks but it is what it is! As I read here before The portal taketh and the portal giveth, however this is clearly a misuse of talent! Jack Martin was a great steal that we when he chose Troy over south but clearly he would like to be kicking field goals and not just kickoffs and punts! He is watching EL go 13/21 last year and knows he could do better but (The HC we don’t speak of) canât coach his way out of a paper bag! Ask yourself why we lost Tyler Sumpter to WV. Could be to play on a bigger stage but it could be that when a kicker is recognized for the Lou Grosse award and then your coach makes you kick a 50 yarder into the wind at Coastal that the player loses respect for the coach! Many coaches do not give the kicking game a lot of value and I believe (The HC we don’t speak of) is one of them! This will come back to bite us. I am happy for him and Tyler but disappointed for Troy that we lost 2 great kickers in 2 years!

I think Sumpter transferred for several reasons! 1 to play for his previous coach! 2 because he was put in a sityy it action that prevented him from winning an award that would ring him national recognition and a shot at the NFL! Even Chips said he used poor judgement on that kick at Coastal!

Even Chips said he used poor judgement on that kick at Coastal! [br I agree with your 1st point and would add to play in a bigger conference on a bigger stage. 2 point not so much. Kicking is different than any other position. It’s not about will be be successful against an NFL corner, or defensive lineman, or will be be able to read coverages. The question is does he have the leg and is he mentally tough under pressure. Not did he win an award or did he miss a tough field goal. That being said I probably would have transferred to play in a P5 conference!
