Junior kicker Bryson Rose is a former walk-on entering his second year as a starter. His first was quite successful. Rose led the SEC last year with an 88.9 success rate hitting 16 of 18 field goal attempts. He was third in field goals per game at 1.33. His longest field goal is only 41 yards, but he’s shown greater leg strength in camp. Junior punter Tyler Campbell led the NCAA last season with an average of 46.4 yards on 60 kicks, becoming the 20th national

statistical champion in school history. The return game will get a boost from the signing class, specifically junior college transfer Philander Moore and freshman Nick Brassell. Moore earned juco All-American honors last year after totaling a combined 811 yards and six touchdowns on kick and punt returns. Running back Jeff Scott will also be used in the return game. MFM
