NC State Adds Punter of the Future

Australian Punter Mackenzie Morgan (6’4″/215) announced on Twitter today that he will be continuing his punting duties at NC State.

Very proud to say that I’ve committed to Study and Punt at North Carolina State University.

Annually the Ray Guy award is handed out to the best punter in college football, and the past 5 years the award has gone to an Australia punter. Morgan has trained with Prokick Australia, who has trained some of the best Australia punters, including last years Ray Guy Award winner, Michael Dickson from Texas.

Morgan will be blueshirt, which means he will be arriving this Fall, and will be available to play, but his scholarship will actually count towards the 2019 class, rather than 2018. Even though he will be eligible to play this year, he will likely redshirt, and then have four years to play after the graduation of AJ Cole. A blueshirt also means that Morgan isn’t allowed to take an official visit before arriving this Fall, and the Wolfpack coaches are allowed no in-home visits.
