Position Previews: Kick Returner/Punt Returner

Last year, the Jackets struggled mightily on special teams. Overall, Tech finished 125th in FBS out of 130 schools in special teams efficiency, a ranking that must come up if this season is to be successful. At times, the punt return units and kick return units seemed incapable of setting up the offense with good field position, and they never really looked dangerous in coming up with big plays at any point during the season. Fortunately, several newcomers figure to factor into the discussion at both return spots, and at least provide some competition for both incumbent starters. Let’s take a look at the potential return men for this season.
