NFL: The Vikings have been dealt a blow ahead of the season with first round draft pick JJ McCarthy being ruled out after suffering a torn meniscus.
Melbourne’s Nick McLarty set the internet alight with one utterly absurd video that has racked up close to 2 million views.The towering 20-year-old Australian lines up on what appears to be a soccer field as he launches a punt high into the sky.The ball soars through the air before it drifts out of the stadium in a punt that has left viewers in disbelief.
McLarty originally posted the moment to his social media feed in November, 2023 where he claimed the ball had travelled more than 90 yards . While unverified, the footage shows the 204cm youngster has a leg that can rival some of the best punters in America. The footage was re-posted the same day it was announced that McLarty had prevailed in competition with fellow Australian Joe McGuire - the son of media identity Eddie - as well as Anthony Venneri and Hadi Jawad to secure the punting role for Ohio State University.“He’s made it a good transition into the country, but also just playing football, and not Australian rules football, which is very, very different. The snap-to-kick has really improved. That was one thing.“I think he’s done that.
“He’ll kick a few that’ll just go right out of the stadium. He just got a strong, strong leg, so we’re looking for that consistency. He’s shown that here most recently. So he’s got the upper hand right now.”
