As any college football fan will tell you, kickers at that level are particularly maddening. It really makes one appreciate how accurate NFL kicker are. College football really weeds out those who get to the next level and those who don’t.
Fortunately, Notre Dame has less of a chance of a big game being lost on a missed kick. That’s because Big Game Boomer, social media’s college football list guru, has ranked Mitch Jeter, the Irish’s transfer kicker from South Carolina, as the eighth-best player at his position:
This isn’t to say the Irish haven’t had some decent kickers in recent years. But the fact that Jeter is coming over from arguably the sport’s best conference in the SEC, and the fact that he should have the edge in most matchups this season should give Irish fans reason for optimism. You want someone with a good reputation when the game is on the line, and Jeter fits the bill.
