Maryland Adds Aussie Kicker In Hopes Of Improving Special Teams The battle for Maryland’s starting punter and kicker positions got significantly more competitive today. Brad Craddock, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound specialist from Tabor Christian College in Adelaide, Australia, has signed a financial-aid agreement with Maryland, coach Randy Edsall announced today. "Brad is an extremely talented kicker and punter with a very strong leg and excellent hang time and distance with his kicks,” Edsall said in a news release. “We are excited that Brad has decided to come to the University of Maryland to continue his academic and athletic career. Having had experience with an Australian punter previously, I felt that Brad would be a great fit based on film and recommendations of our kicking and International contacts. We look forward to having Brad with us when our team reports to camp on August 5th." Craddock learned to punt playing Australian Rules football, which he began participating in at age 8. Craddock has spent the past year-and-a-half training with OzPunt, an Australian punting, kicking and holding academy. He will have four years of eligibility at Maryland. Source Baltimore Sun |
