Baylor special teams outlook for 2019: Will Connor Martin be replaced at kicker after a rough 2018 season?

While special teams players don't get as much attention, they are critical to any football team's success.

Baylor learned that firsthand last season.

Connor Martin's game-winning field goal against Kansas State was the lone bright spot in a difficult 2018 season for the junior kicker. He will return for his senior season in 2019.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Baylor loses Drew Galitz, who was one of the top punters in the Big 12 last season.

Who will be the Bears' new punter and kicker in 2019? Here is an outlook for Baylor's special teams in 2019:

Key returnees: Connor Martin (senior), Jay Sedwick (sophomore), John Mayers (freshman), Issac Power (freshman)

Key losses: Drew Galitz (graduation)

Newcomers: Noah Rauschenberg (freshman)

Biggest unanswered question: Will the Bears ride Connor Martin for one more season?
