2018 Outlook:
Tennessee is set at kicker for years to come with Brent Cimaglia. Punter, however, is wide open. Competing for that job will be Paxton Brooks and two sophomore walk-ons, Grayson Linde and Joe Doyle. Don’t just automatically assume that Brooks will start because he’s a scholarship player, though. After all, Trevor Daniel beat two highly regarded punters for the starting job a few years ago. This is still Brooks job to lose in my opinion, and I’m going to guess that he doesn’t lose it. He will have big shoes to fill, as Tennessee has developed into Punter U the last decade.
