Tom Sheldon Settled In, Expanding Punt Options

Posted Aug 9, 2017
UNC punter Tom Sheldon spent his offseason working on what he described as “torpedo” kicks, otherwise known as traditional American punts. The rugby-style kicks are a safer option due to being easier to control distance. It also helps that rollouts offer more margin of error with a 2.1-second operation time compared to the conventional style’s 2.0-second goal. (Inside Carolina)
