ASU’s Dillingham ‘serious’ about kicking tryouts

Arizona State University’s football team has been struggling with their kicking game, prompting head coach Kenny Dillingham to hold open tryouts for kickers. After a disappointing loss to Cincinnati, Dillingham expressed frustration with the team’s current kickers, particularly Ian Hershey. However, he later apologized for singling out Hershey and stated that any changes resulting from the tryouts would be based on merit. Seeking help from the student body for the kicking game is not unheard of in college football, as other coaches have successfully recruited students to fill positions in the past.
