2020 Prospect: Sam Johnson (Punter)

[JustNeedMe81]

Please, pretty please - any analogy but Grant's Roundball Tomb for 'Bama to climb out of! Or maybe to stay on topic you could say Grant "pooch-kicked the bucket" in his leadership of 'Bama basketball...

Say what you wanted about it, but it was known fact that Grant hated Media attention here in Alabama. He didn't enjoy his time here in T-town and it was mentioned several times. Gotta know whole story... Another story for another time.

I just noticed this kid played at our school district where my daughter goes to school. Pulling for him.

Is that Chase Allen you are referring to Jam?

 

[bamacon]

Now Damn that’s bad...You know you fear the injury bug when you getting starter level kickers as backups
That said, glad CNS is thinking ahead. RTR!!!

 

[jambama1]

yes

 

[BamaMoon]

OK, what I thought. With Allen coming on board what does that mean for Rechiard? I thought he come back strong this year after the injuries from last year.

He is under scholarship, so he isn't going anywhere. Maybe Allen can handle kickoffs. He has a very strong leg.

That was a good pickup...…….....along with the punter, I hope Bama's fortunes improve at that position

It almost HAS to.

I love the sound it makes when he punts the ball.. That "thud" sound it makes in the video when he connects..

Finally watched the clip.

The Ooohhs and Ahhhs from the spectators sounded like they were watching a fireworks show.

LOL..That's what I was doing as well brother everytime he pounded it..

It reminded me when Reggie Roby played for The Dolphins & during pregame they'd just watch in amazement when he practiced punting the ball..Same "thud" sound..

Ray Guy is without a doubt one of the all-time great punters...

Yup..Ray Guy & Reggie Roby are my two favorite P'ers of all time.. Reggie was the man as well..

IMO, Roby was better than Guy by a country mile.

I also remember it getting quiet before the cheering. It was like everybody realized they were seeing something genuinely extraordinary.
