JONATHAN DOERER
South Mecklenburg; Charlotte, N.C.
Measurements: 6’3”, 188 lbs.
Accolades: Scout.com three-star recruit; No. 6 kicker in nation per scout.com
Other Considered Offers: Maryland-commit until this past weekend
Projected Position: Kicker
Quick Take: A late addition to this class, Doerer might find the field in 2017 amid injury speculation around incumbent kicker Justin Yoon. There was a time any special teams recruit brought much skepticism from the masses. That time has passed, and Doerer should not rekindle it.
During today’s und.com programming, Irish coach Brian Kelly said he expects Doerer to take over the kickoff duties, if not more, due to his strong leg’s consistent ability to send the ball out of the end zone.
