Punters and Kickers
Special teams units will replace both starting kickers. Sophomore Zane Guadagnolo hit two of three field goals for the Hornets last season and was three of four on point after attempts in relief of starter Zak King. He had a season long 31 yarder for Emporia State. Senior Derek Jonas kicked off 12 times for the Hornets last season, but did not attempt a field goal or PAT. Senior Kyle Savner kicked off against Lincoln last year. The Hornets will be looking for a punter to replace three year starter Tyler Chilson.
