Wake Forest punter kicks his way into record books
On Saturday Wake Forest punter Alex Kinal set the record for most career punts during the Deacons game against Notre Dame.
It took two tries, but eventually Wake Forest punter Alex Kinal booted his way into the FBS record books. During the Demon Deacons battle with No. 4 Notre Dame, Kinal connected on his 323 career punt, the most by any player in NCAA history.
Kinal’s first crack at the record-setting punt would end up being nullified by a Notre Dame penalty. However, Kinal would get another chance and nailed a 51-yarder.
Kinal punted 58 times heading into Saturday's game and was averaging 43.4 yards per punt.
