I have confirmed that Matt Darr has signed with UT. He is the No.1 Punter in the Country in 2010 according to SCOUT.com. He was released from his LOI from Fresno State. Offers from USC, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State, among others




Now we have the Number 2 Kicker in Palardy and Number 1 Punter in Darr.

I like to hear that, a good punter can be a game changer.

Will he have to sit out a year, or did he never officially sign an LOI?

Congrats, your team is still going to be shitty, but at least you'll have a good net punt average!

He's eligible right away. Listed by Rivals as the strongest leg of any Kicker/Punter in the class. We now have the Top K/P class in the nation, to go with our top WR class.

FWIW, he was a USC commitment until Pete left. Lane couldn't hang on to him.

Then hired FSU's special teams coach to lure the punter back to USC. It resulted in the punter going to UT. gotta love it.

Easy money says he sets the NCAA record for most punts next season.

Really Solid Defense and a stud Kicker and Punter. 6-7 wins is seeming more doable by the day.

Congrats on beating out Fresno State. What changed his mind AFTER signing a LOI?
