Rutgers adds a kicker and a punter from overseas

A major question mark for Rutgers football heading into the season is the kicking game after Valentino Ambrosio announced he was transferring last month. While the Scarlet Knights do have a kicker with some experience with Guy Fava, along with unproven Michael O’Connor and incoming freshman Jai Patel, the coaching staff has added another option.

Irish kicker Jude McAtamney was announced by the program on Monday night and arrives with two years of eligibility. He is transferring from Division II Chowan University in Murfreesboro, North Carolina. McAtamney played Gaelic football in Ireland and is a big part of his own family history.
