A top-ranked college football recruit announced that he is converting to Islam. Gunnar Gillentine, the No. 1-ranked punter in the Class of 2027, announced his commitment to Mississippi State. The 6-foot, 185-pound kicker has major strength and extreme precision. Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby and special teams coordinator Cliff Odom prioritized the kicking specialist on the recruiting trail.
“I’m going to be working in the weight room a lot this offseason,” Gillentine is excited to get better. “I want my leg to be as strong as it can possibly be… I know that when the ball is turning over, it can come with a lot more distance.”
While the top-ranked recruit is working on his kicking game this summer, he's also been converting to Islam.
The top-ranked recruit has changed his Instagram handle to @gunnarpunts_inshallah.He's been documenting his journey on social media.
The top-ranked recruit has been making some progress in his journey, as well.
"I can finally read Quran ????," he wrote on Instagram.
He added: "First time leading salah alhamdulillah ??."

I believe we still have freedom of religion here in the good ole US of A. While I disagree with him on his religious beliefs, I support him being able to practice it. At least until he starts some shite during a game by protesting or disrespecting something.
Then frick him and the magic carpet he rode in on.

Breaking news: Kid that looks Mormon leaves Jesus for Allah. He is doing it for the clout.

Should help his stock once the Saudis start their own league.

There’s a well established pattern of areas of the world that are predominantly comprised of a certain religion being a bad place to visit.

He'll fit in. Lot of black belt pasture near MSU is grazing goats and sheep for the local muslims.

I don’t want the media describing his kicking power as explosive.

Just means he should really be able to bomb punts.

If your dad was Gaston you'd convert to Islam too

Islam is recruiting on another level these days. They infiltrated the suburbs. Hell, Islam is recruiting better than Freeze in July.

Not the first time MSU students have been radicalized

Attention seeking weirdo kicker. They’re a dime a dozen. This one decided to pretend to be a Muslim as his attention seeking method of choice.
