Tenneesse lands commitment from one of nation’s top punters

Paxton Brooks

Tennessee added its 21st commitment to the class of 2018 on Thursday night when Paxton Brooks from West Columbia, South Carolina committed to the Vols.

“I’m proud to say that I have received a full scholarship to the University of Tennessee and have decided that I’m 100% committed!,” he tweeted.

Brooks is the No. 2 rated punter in America, according to Kohl’s Kicking Camps, which rates him as a 5-star punter and a 4.5-star kicker. He’s slated to play in the 2018 Under Armour All-America Game.

Brooks looks to replace redshirt senior Trevor Daniel who, apart from freshman Joe Doyle, is the only punter on the Vols roster.

From his Kohl’s profile:

Brooks recently attended the 2017 National Scholarship Camp. He repeatedly hit 50-60 yard blasts and he built upon his dominant performance at the Southern Showcase Camp in May. Brooks again was a dominant punter and performer. His long frame makes him an attractive prospect as a D1 punter. Brooks’ FG’s and KO’s show flashes of big potential as well. His strength is in his punting. Brooks earned the 2nd spot to the Under Armour All-American Game by winning the punt off against the top players at this national event. He has all the tools to become a great college P/KO specialist!

Did you happen to notice the part about how he repeatedly hit 50-60 yard blasts?
