Australian punter Angus Davies leaves West Virginia after few days

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Australian punter Angus Davies has left the West Virginia football program after only a few days on campus.

A source said he quickly became homesick and wasn’t likely to rejoin the team.

The 6-foot-4 Davies committed to West Virginia last November but had not signed his letter of intent.

After training at ProKick Australia, the punter factory that produced Texas All-American Michael Dickson, Davies figured to push Morgantown product Billy Kinney this season. Kinney’s 40.9-yard average ranked 70th in the FBS during 2017 and West Virginia finished 103rd from 129 teams in net punting.
