I guess that freshman kicker must be really good!

the freshman from Colorado is a 5*, #1 kicker in the country. if he wasnt going to start, he wouldnt be at Baylor. I will miss hankins, because i think he is a solid dude, but i truly think that armstrong is the future. this guy has a massive leg. Think Daniel Sepulveda, but for kicking. unfortunately, this news isnt too shocking

Wow! Was Brian better than Daniel?

Also, he was the #15 kicker in the country (#1 in Colorado) and a consensus 3*. Don't get me wrong - I hope he's awesome, but not quite a 5*.

he is a 5*, according to every metric i just checked

and brian sepulveda worked at my church. honest mistake

#1 in the country.. colorado.. he is a #1 kicker

Don't celebrate too early. Kickers are funny that way. Different year, different team, different level, results don't always stay consistent.

But I hope he turns out great for Baylor, and vice versa.

i do believe i saw him being a 5star and number 1 as well. obviously not a 5 star in the sense of him being with all the other positions because the rankings are different but a 5 star nonetheless.

New kicker is a big kid. Like 6' 5. Ball is said to just jump off his leg. Interesting to see what happens

These goodbyes sound alike. I guess getting a degree from Baylor isn't enough to hang around for.

I have to think that a team that needs a kicker might give him some decent cash. Not sure what the market for kickers is like

It varies, of course, but a lot of the guys who have ended up transferring out did get their bachelors degree from Baylor before leaving.

Isn't he married and don't they have a baby? I'm sure more NIL payola is important.

As much as we love Baylor, accounting from UTA and accounting from Baylor is still accounting.

If his goal is to kick in the show, he has to go kick somewhere to get there.

You're right. I guess I will always be an ABC at heart.

Hankins was far too erratic. Best of luck to him at his new spot, but our special teams already got a considerable upgrade.

Hankins is a solid dude and I certainly wish both he and his family the best. However, if we are being honest here, place kicking has been an area of opportunity for the Bears for at least 2 seasons. So if they addressed it with the in-bound 5*er, then good for Aranda and crew.

He beat TCU .. that's statue worthy.

Maybe but I remember lots of criticism of Stork, even after the 2011 game, and Callahan, after the 2014 game. Baylor fans can be as fickle as any other fan base.

This is the new norm. No more one school kids.

Good luck Jonathan. Get you some NIL! Someone is gonna get a solid K

if beating tcu is our greatest accomplishment, then we have fallen on hard times.
