Punters are football players too, and thus possess that innate transfer gene that is so prevalent in this day and age.
The latest to prove that particular phenomenon is Zach Feagles, with Miami announcing Thursday afternoon that the punter has decided to leave Mark Richt’s football program. No specific reason for the departure was given by the school in its release.
Feagles was noticeably absent as Miami traveled to New York City for the New Era Pinstripe Bowl matchup with Wisconsin, leading to speculation regarding his future.
Feagles, the son of former Miami and NFL punter Jeff Feagles, has served as the Hurricanes primary punter the past two seasons. He’s averaged 38.7 yards on his 102 punts over that stretch.
With Feagles unavailable, Jack Spicer will take over the punting duties in the bowl game Thursday evening. On 29 punts this season, Spicer has averaged 37.1 per.
