I had to send Brooks out and kick it fast and he banged it through on a 51-yarder that gave us a little bit of breathing room in that game.”

I was just praying I was going to get another opportunity and I did and I’m thankful coach Sumrall trusted me to put me back out there and being able to do that.”“Quinten Skinner, he’s the long snapper … he’s impacted this group so much with his snaps,” Buce said. “They’re always perfect and you can always count on him to get the snap there.
