Brundage is graduating from Rice this month and doing so with eligibility remaining allows him to transfer anywhere without having to sit out a year.
What happened last year?

New Daily Camera article by Kyle Ringo has the details.
The article goes on to confirm Logan Gray, the 1-year WR transfer for Georgia, will also be a Buff following graduation this month.
The Camera article says Gray is graduating, but I thought the issue was whether Gray would be accepted into the Colorado business graduate program, and that he had not yet heard if he would be accepted. Has that changed ...?
Questions about the article: Brundage averaged 44.2 yards on 26 punts, Grossnickle averaged 37.5 net yards per punt. Are those comparable? I'm thinking that Brundage's numbers don't include return yards, where Grossnickle's do. And I'm also thinking that even if they do, that Brundage's return team wasn't "cliniced" by Riddle. What I'm getting at is that we need competition at the position so this is good regardless, but it's not clear that Brundage is an immediate upgrade.
I also wonder why O'Neill isn't going to be in the fall camp. Is this just normal student stuff, like he won't be around because he doesn't get AD support and school hasn't started? It sure seems like the extra couple of weeks (or whatever it is) would be a big help to him.
Dramatic improvement on kick off power, approach footwork, leveraging from the plant and creating more foot speed thru impact. Working on leg action efficiency wants to use the upper leg muscle groups too much at times and not creating the whip he needs. Improved his kick off's inside 5 and some into the endzone 3.7-3.98 hang time and improved his punting accerleration thru and out impact
Rice-- Walk-on who took over the kickoff duties down the stretch to earn his first letter.
2008-- Took over kickoff duties against Army...opponents averaged 14.7 yards per return over the last four games (20.2 in the first eight games).
Looks like Embree has no or little confidence in our kicking game.
That would make him, uh.....what's the word? Hmmmmm........Oh yeah!

SMART!
It's so nice to have a competent coaching staff again. :thumbsup:
They see an obvious weakness and find a guy who is a huge upgrade with the experience to get it done under pressure right away. Outstanding!
No personal offense to Grossnickle.....but I certainly hope Brundage can come in and make the best of that eligibility as we can't afford the same quality we've seen recently
Pretty hard to ever be good @ ST, no matter what the emphasis by the coaching staff, with the same kicking we've seen the past few years
