Breaking: North Texas lands Baylor Transfer Kicker Noah Rauschenberg

[TheReal_jayD]

Beating out Oklahoma State is a big recruiting win for this staff. Rauschenberg will look to replace Ethan “Money” Mooney this season.

He already comes in ahead of Brett Maher in the DFW kicker power rankings

Welcome aboard Noah!  You're going to love kicking in Apogee (or whatever it's gonna be called)!

[MeanGreenZen]

He is a kickoff specialist. Didn’t kick PATs or FGs at Baylor.
I wonder if that is why he transferred? 

[jtm0097]

Kickers are people too. Welcome aboard!

[Dannymacfan]

Great pickup!

We've been spoiled for 8 yrs at kicker,  hopefully it continues as long as Noah is here

IMO if you can KO into/out of the endzone every time - Do It!

0 for 2 career on FGs.  Maybe he was a stud in high school?

I hate the new kickoff rules and miss the days of the potential of returns, etc.  Now it just seems everyone calls for the fair catch and is done with it.

I look forward to a good battle between Mr. Rauschenberg and Chris Clayton.

Welcome aboard Noah.

Isn't that what he's supposed to say?

I look for kickoffs to be phased out, much like the tip off has been replaced in the 2nd half of college basketball.  

Will Noah’s name fit across the back of a jersey ?

I’ve never heard the term, “I’m so bleed…”

I guess I’m bleed he’s coming.

He was 0-2 on FGs.  It could be that Chris Cayton, last year's backup to Mooney (who I believe didn't make an appearance due to Mooney flirting with records) is good on extra points and short field goals but does not have a strong enough leg for kickoffs or long field goals...or they plan on trying Rauschenburg on all three.  If he can handle it...they may release Cayton.  Purely speculation on my part.

I may be mistaken, but it seems like I recall the b/u kicker being a little smaller (even for a kicker) which I attributed to him being younger.  Stats show 6'0"-200 vs 5'11"-175 for Mooney vs Cayton.  Baylor has Noah as 6'1"-204.

No blocked field goals from line drive kicks.  Word on the street is that Noah has some arc.  
 

 

Too much of a stretch?

Well, it might need for a few letters to go under the armpits or have two rows.  Thankfully, this isn't basketball.
