2019 Projection: Starter at kicker

It has been a strange road for Dellinger to this point. He came in as a true freshman in 2016 and was pretty much the starter at kicker from day 1. He had a decent year that year. He connected on 10 of 14 field goals with a long of 42 yards and on 35 of 36 extra points.
