Kicker Daniel Obarski according to Twitter was offered last night. Seems to be at Purdue a lot and dad is an alumn. Guessing he commits. Ranked #8 kicker (5star) by the clothing store Kohls.

Yes. You should always have two kickers.just curious. Why are we offering a scholarship to a kicker when we already have Dellinger as a junior? Do we really need two kickers on scholarship? Admittedly I said the same thing last year when we signed Evans.

Perhaps Brohm views with interest the NFL stat that 6 of the top 12 scorers in the league last season were kickersWe currently have 5 kickers and 2 punters on our the roster - with 2 kickers and 1 punter on scholarship. Do other teams have 2 kickers and 1 punter all on scholarship?
I see a lot of big name school interest shown for punters and kickers, , but I'm not seeing other big name schools making actual offers other than Purdue. Cormier had a lot of interest, but only one scholarship offer; from Purdue. Obarski has offers from Army and Air Force.
I recall Austin McGehee was a punter who chose Purdue over Arkansas because we offered him a scholarship and Arkansas offered him to be a preferred walk-on. Purdue was his only big name scholarship offer and the only reason he signed with Purdue. he later left without ever playing for personal reasons. he ended up at Fullerton College and is now headed to North Texas. if Purdue hadn't offered him a scholarship, he would have gone to Arkansas as a walk-on.
this makes me ask the question, if other schools can get punters and kickers as walk-ons, why does Purdue use a scholarship? and why would Purdue use 2 scholarships for their kickers? and 1 for their punter? to me that's like NFL teams using a 1-2 round draft pick on a kicker when there are plenty just as good who are willing to sign on as FA.
I'm not questioning their talent or ability. I just believe Purdue should be able to attract a kicker and punter who are just as good as walk-ons rather than dedicating 3 scholarships to our kicking game.. I'm not really thrilled about giving a scholarship to a long snapper or kick holder either. they are important positions, but to me, not worth giving out a scholarship. .
I think the higher rated kickers get scholarships. We could probably get lower rated kickers as walk ons. I know I would like a Wiggs type kicker again. He was a real weapon for us. Our placekicking has not been the same since he graduated.We currently have 5 kickers and 2 punters on our the roster - with 2 kickers and 1 punter on scholarship.

he could also red shirt his freshman year.
it just strikes me odd that Purdue will be signing two of the best kickers and punters in the country , and neither has a scholarship offer other than from Purdue.
What do those other power schools do?
