Week four's Overnight Sensation: Braden Mann, Punter

After a booming performance punting the football Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa against the Crimson Tide, Texas A&M punter Braden Mann is this week's 'Overnight Sensation' presented by the Texas A&M Hotel.

Olin's thoughts on Mann's performance against Alabama

Without a doubt, Braden Mann has to be the guy this week. I would say Alabama would want Braden Mann on their roster. He doesnt't just kick the ball, he launches it. Shane Lechler would think Mann is a great punter. Some people may nit pick with the fact that he doesn't pin them inside the five-yard line, but I'll take the fact that he consistently hits it over returners heads. I also look at the fact that every single one of his kickoffs goes through the back of the end zone.

One step and he launches it, can't be blocked. If he keeps punting like this, he better win that Ray Guy award, or they might as well stop giving it out.
