Film Review

Kicker film may not seem that exciting, but Cimaglia’s highlight tape will break that stigma. Despite having a punt attempt in which he turned a near-disastrous high snap into a punt downed just short of the goal line, the film speaks for itself. Cimaglia puts plenty of kickoffs through the back of the end zone and hits multiple times from 40-plus yards on field goals. The Vols may have their next Aaron Medley, or better.
