Notre Dame filled their need at punter when Ben Turk of St. Thomas Aquinas committed to the Irish, as first reported by Irish Eyes.
The six-foot, 175-pound punter averaged just under 41 yards per punt last season. He's considerably smaller than the last two recruits from St. Thomas Aquinas, Dan Wenger and Sam Young.
The truth is that no one outside of the football office knows that much about Turk at this point. While everyone loves a punter who can boot it 60 yards, I'm partial to the guys who are consistent and can position punts well like D.J. Fitzpatrick used to do.
