  08/01/22 - P Adam KorsakrSr/2023, Rutgers

  No disrespect to Iowa's Tory Taylor, but Rutgers' Adam Korsak goes into the season as the Big Ten's most popular and decorated punter. Hawkeye fans may remember Korsak's remarkable punting exhibition in a 30-0 Iowa win over Rutgers at Kinnick Stadium in 2019 - a clinic of downed balls inside the 5-yard line and a 47.6-yard average on 10 punts. This past season, Korsak's remarkable leg led to Rutgers setting an NCAA record for net punting average, at 45.34 yards per attempt. He has gone an amazing 129 straight punts without a touchback. Like Taylor, Korsak grew up in Australia kicking balls to friends because that's how you pass and score in Australian rules football - by kicking. That's where the amazing control on punts comes from. "So how you might have grown up throwing a baseball or football, we grow up punting the ball 20 yards back and forth with our friends or our dad or whoever," Korsak said. "So it's built into us, it's very natural." Korsak and Taylor are good friends. They met at Prokick, an Australian academy that trains American punters.

Taylor sent a question through a reporter to ask Korsak who has the second-best hair among Big Ten punters. "So Jesse Mirco (of Ohio State) is first and Tory's third then," Korsak said with an Aussie accent and a winning smile. "What I would say, Tory. I wake up and this is my hair. I hide the grays, but I don't go out and get a perm. You can tell him that." Jokes aside, Korsak and Taylor respect each other greatly and will see each other this year when Iowa travels to Rutgers on Sept. 24. Taylor is no slouch himself, of course - first-team all-Big Ten punter in 2020 and averaged 46.1 yards per punt last season. - Iowa City Press-Citizen
