James Burnip received an opportunity this weekend he just couldn’t pass by. The Australian native, who stands 6-foot-6, 216-pounds, earned a full scholarship to the University of Alabama to play college football.
Burnip, a right-footed punter, has never played a down of football. The defending national champions wanted him. He has worked with ProKick Australia, a development firm for punters and kickers.
“We don’t play games or compete in a league…we don’t have that here,” Burnip told RebelGrove earlier this year. “But we train with the coaches and focus on perfecting our technique. Then we move into simulating a live punt and work on getting acclimated on what to expect once we get to the states.”
