Minnesota Football 2021 Preview: Special Teams Upgrade / Downgrade

The final Upgrade/Downgrade installment and it is a position group that has been ignored in year’s past. But after the 2020 season, this group needs to be talked about.

2020

Starter: Brock Walker (K), Dragan Kesish (K), Mark Crawford (P)
Depth: Anders Gelecinskyj (K), Michael Lantz (K), Brock Walker (K), Matthew Stephenson (P)

There were a lot of kids who kicked the ball for the Gophers last year. Walker led the team in PAT attempts and took 2 of the 4 FG attempts. Kesich took care of most of the kickoffs, but Lantz and Walker did as well.
