Alabama punter Skyler DeLong no longer on Crimson Tide's online roster

DeLong appeared in five games last season, averaging 33 yards per boot on 10 punts. During his freshman season in 2018, he averaged 34.44 yards on 16 punts.

Alabama’s punting game struggled last season as it ranked No. 101 in the nation, averaging 39.91 yards per punt. The Crimson Tide was using Will Reichard as its punter early in the season until the highly-touted freshman suffered a hip-flexor injury that cut his season short at five games. Before the injury, Reichard averaged 38 yards per punt on four attempts.

Walk-on Ty Perine was Alabama’s most successful punter, averaging 44.69 yards on 13 punts. However, he was replaced by senior Mike Bernier in the Citrus Bowl. With Bernier now graduated, Perine and Reichard appear to be Alabama's two main candidates for the punting role this season.

Can't say i'm not suprised but i hope he does well somewhere if he decide to transfer.

Punter is such a hard position to nail down. We've gone the Aussie route twice now.

Always nice to have a Donk!

It has to be frustrating for everybody...coaches, the other players and Skyler himself....because it’s purely a mental thing.

From all indications, he was fine in practice, but just couldn’t translate that into games. Then, you start questioning yourself, and over-thinking, and it gets in your head, and soon it’s a vicious cycle out of control.

If we’ve learned anything in the last 6 months, it‘s that, as much as we all love football, there are more important things. Finding your place in the world is one of them.

I hate it turned out the way it did, and hope Skyler finds his place, whether it’s in Tuscaloosa or elsewhere, and whether he plays football or not.

Looks like he’s back on the roster.

Is this what is known as an attention getter move?

You’d think getting benched for a walk-on would be enough...

Noticed one of the commenters stated Cochran should have been promoted...………......with no experience?

I think it is known as he is no longer on scholarship (may have already had it pulled).

 

[TitleWave]

So as of late today, back on the roster, he’s a one-man-with-a- bum-boot double entendre: Not So Long DeLong...

I think you've just listed the necessary qualifications to be Bama kicker

Perine did a fine job until he botched a snap and got in the doghouse.

I thought it was for something else......

It may be, not sure.
