You're talking about an outstanding kicker who also happens to be a high academic student. He was very excited about the university and the team after getting back from the visit. "Carey was a tremendous weapon for us as a kicker-placekicker. Carey had great range and accuracy as a placekicker, and our opponents returned only a few of his kickoffs. He also averaged nearly 40 yards a punt as a senior, so I probably made a mistake not letting him do that until this year."
