Florida Atlantic defensive lineman Tim Bonner is no stranger to making the most of bad situations.
He was kicked out off the Louisville football team, landed at junior-college known for players searching for second-chances and turned it into a positive by joining FAU during the summer.
His lack of playing time this season with the Owls is no different. He’s made the most of it by becoming the team’s most dedicated special teams player.
“He’s one of the best kickoff coverage guys in the country,” FAU coach Lane Kiffin said.
When he arrived, Bonner was hardly pegged as a gunner on kickoffs.
