A punter from Texas A&M for the Heisman Trophy? Most don't know the name Drew Kaser when they hear it, but it his his goal to change that. Kaser has started his campaign to become the first punter to recieve this award by roaming the Texas A&M campus asking people to vote for him. He even started a trending topic on Twitter, with his campaign quote "#Kaser4Heisman."
Though Kaser does not have any touchdowns, interceptions, or sacks on his resume, he does have an incredible 77 yard punt to boast about. Kaser knows his campaign is a long shot, but he is not doing it for himself. This campaign he claims to be for his position and to gain respect for his position that he feels has lacked in recent years. Texas A&M is an offensively based team, averaging 54.3 points per game. With an offense like this, defense and special teams are not of main concern.
This bothered Kaser and lured him into wanting to make a change. To show his support for his position, and wore a "Punters are people too" shirt to an A&M press conference before the season. Though most agree Kaser is not one of the most common Heisman Candidates seen, they will agree what he is doing is very amusing and maybe will one day change how football fans view the Punting Position.
