Auburn’s punter of the future is here.

Australian punters have won each of the last five Ray Guy Awards. The Tigers decided to get in on that trend. Auburn worked together with the Prokick Australia program to set up a mutual scholarship opportunity for the former professional Australian Rules Football player.

That’s right, Siposs is a former professional athlete.

He spent five years playing in the highest professional league in Australia before turning his full attention to a United States academic and athletic career. As you’ll be able to tell from the highlights below, Siposs isn’t the average punter commit, hence why the Tigers were willing to take his commitment so quickly.

Siposs is 25 years old and is already engaged. This is a grown man the Tigers are bringing in at punter for the 2018 class. Maybe there will be more fake punts in Auburn’s special teams future? Siposs is skilled enough to try.

Here is all you need to know about the punter in the 2018 class:

3-star punter Arryn Siposs

247Sports composite ranking: No. 6 punter, No. 2 in Australia, No. 1,884 overall

Hometown: Melbourne, Australia

School: Prokick Australia

Height: 6-foot-2

Weight: 198 pounds

Offers: 1, from Auburn

Commitment: Dec. 12, 2017

Where he fits at Auburn: Auburn had some major issues with the punting game in 2017, starting with fall camp concerns. That’s clearly a position group the Tigers wanted to clear up in the 2018 recruiting class. Australian punters have been all the rage when it comes to the Ray Guy Award in recent years. The Tigers figured it was their turn to snag a punter with rare athletic traits. Siposs spent several years playing Australian Rules Football professionally.
