Fenlason to kick, Bohlken to punt for ISU

Illinois State football coach Brock Spack doesn’t doubt Bohlken. He just isn’t ready to place all the responsibilities of serving as the Redbird punter, place-kicker and kickoff man on Bohlken’s shoulders.

Spack announced Tuesday that junior transfer Sam Fenlason will be ISU’s kicker for field goals and extra points and kick off in Saturday’s 6:30 p.m. season opener against Saint Xavier at Hancock Stadium. Bohlken will serve as the Redbird punter.

Fenlason is a 6-foot-2, 225-pound transfer from Idaho. He redshirted in 2015, kicked off once in 2016 for a touchback and did not play last season.
