Notes: From Rivals ($): "First of all [Kinney] is a combo player. He has the ability to do both at a very high level. I think that punting is currently actually his strength. He shows just tremendous potential at the punting position. He's actually currently ranked No. 3 [in punting] in the country with us and to be honest with you he could easily be ranked No. 1. There's a very slight difference between him and the top two guys. Overall, he's by far a top national prospect at the punting position. He has a huge ceiling; he has a huge potential and ability. Colorado definitely got one of the best punting prospects in the country," Sailer said.
