This is OUR Bad *** Kicker

[T-TownDawgg]

Peach Bowl replay got me nostalgic. I'm pretty sure it was a guy named Jeff Walker. Almost positive it was against Auburn. He kicks off the ball. He takes a cheap shot that special team nobodys love to deliver on kickers. He DDT's that 17er MMA style for all to see. I think he was flagged. Before the age of youtube. Can't find footage of it anywhere. Dying to show my son who was just a glint in my eye when it happend. One of the greatest State plays that is not in any stat sheet.

I do remember he liked to get down field and lay a lick!

I played high school ball with jeff

and yes, he was not the average kicker. He was about 6 ft 220-230 in college.

The play you are looking for was a kickoff return against Alabama where he decked the guy on the sideline. They expect kickers to dive at ankles, and he doesn't roll like that.

I do know it was the 11:30 early Jefferson Pilot game that day. They replayed the bodyslam a time or two. It was glorious. Dave Neal got tickled watching it

If I remember correctly ... Walker was a punter and didn't kick off. But he was a great punter.

My all-time favorite MSU punter . . . . by a mile. Dude was awesome and a freakin' truck. Now, these guys are built like Ethiopian AIDS patients.

Walker did kickoffs as well.

I seem to remember toward the end of his senior year he started taking two steps before punting and had a few blocked.

Walker had a huge leg, but had about the slowest get off time I've ever seen. It seemed to take him forever to catch the ball and take his steps and kick it. He did have several punts blocked due to that. But when he hit it, he hit bombs.
