The delusional nature of college football players is interesting. The incumbent punter decides to trade in a degree from Cal to go to Arkansas State? Doesn't anyone in his life have the ability to slap him and say, "Look, kid, the odds of getting to the NFL might as well be zero. The odds of you living another 70 years and needing a job are pretty high. Maybe a degree from Cal will serve you better than from a school that might as well have a direction in its name."
Tho if history is any indication, we will more likely need him to pooch 40 yard punts, as we will be punting from midfield…er, uh…hopefully not anymore, of course….
In the top picture, he's trying to kick the ball without tossing the ball in the air. He still has the ball in his hand. I wonder if he may have forgotten how to punt a ball since it's been a long time since he last punted in highschool.
[Photographer doing media shots] "Do a double arm flex pose. Great. Now grit your teeth and point at the camera. Awesome. Now do a punting motion."
[Brooke Honoré, booms punt through several thousand dollars worth of strobe lights, stands, reflectors, and overhead lights but nearly missing the overhead sprinkler system] "I will not be accused of forgetting how to punt."
Well, the glaring red flag is that he's been on 2 teams over a couple of years and hasn't punted even once in a game.
Coaches look at his high school performance and are sure they can be the ones who will sprinkle the magic dust over him and that kid who dazzled the Texas high school world will do it for them in college.

Maybe he was failing in his courses and had to leave
Ideally he plays quite sparingly….
And that his leg is so well rested that when he is needed to punt, he is able to rip off 60 yard punts.

Punting and kicking is so unpredictable. Hope he can fill Lachlan's cleats well!

he's just showing off some exotic fake punt play abilities
I hope it's better than this play.

that was an instant classic
🤣
The bigger question: Who's going to be our OL center?

Not sure how the portal works... did we get a chance to work him out before extending an offer?
I hope so.
This will be either boom or bust!
My non-football question: is Brooke related to ret. Gen. Honoré who led so honorably* during Hurricane Katrina?
*pun intended
Oh Oh!!
