It’s been a massive disappointment not to see either of these two get a shot at returning kicks. I understand having a sure handed and experienced Faison to return punts, but these two kids are two of the fastest players on the team. Don’t get why 22 is out there and struggles to get it to the 25.
of young players before they get a chance on Saturdays.
I think back to LSU a few years ago who lost the opener because a 5* freshman (Malik Nabers) muffed two punts resulting in points for the opponents. Those mistakes basically lost LSU (and BK) the game and eventually the season.
One of the reasons Matt Salerno returned punts (and would mostly just fair-catch), because the coaches trusted he wouldn't make a mistake that cost the team.
