Ever since I was a kid I have always wanted to be a Hokie and it just so happens I received an offer and I couldn't pass it up," Stout said. "It is the closest college to my home and it would be most convenient for me and my family."

Kicker/punter seems to be a need.

Awesome
Hope he never sees the field outside of XPs and kickoffs
So, you want to see him like 14 or more plays a game?
A stout kicker. The right recruit to bring to the program! Welcome to HokieNation!
A kicker named Stout and (hopefully) a WR named Speed. That would be awesome.
Certainly better than the kicker named Blewitt
In Pitt's win against Clemson, I was hoping the announcer would say something like:
And the kick is up... and Blewitt he DIDN'T!!!!!!!
276 whattup.
Southwest Virginia has produced some legs in the past.

RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD, THEY'RE STILL ALIVE IN BLACKSBURG
Ugh, McDonough needs to get off MNF and broadcast more VT college games. We seem to have epic wins whenever he does.
It will be fun to see how announcers pronounce Honaker.
It's pronounced "Kevin"
Heaven forbid that we get a player from Dante.
I learned recently that there is a town in Mississippi spelled "Armory" that the locals call "Aim-er-eee."
Have a friend from Amory. It only has the 1 "r".
We don't have to go far to find some kooky pronunciations here in Virginia. Ask someone from there how they pronounce McGaheysville. Rio road in Charlottesville is pronounced Rye-O, Buena Vista is Bue-na Vista (long u), Staunton is called Stanton, Pulaski is Pew-laski...the list is long and sometimes puzzling. Maryville, Tennessee is locally pronounced Mar-a-vul.
For those who haven't been around that area, McGaheysville is pronounced MaGackeysville. You tell me why.
Because
Don't get me started on terrible pronunciations.
My company is HQd in Boston
Yeah, it's hard to top Gloucester.
Don't you be talking bout my neighbors! Another one over the mountain, Stanardsville, pronounced Stanerdsville.
Here in VB we pronounce Norfolk NorFuck. Same with Suffolk.
My wife is from VB and she's emphatic that it's pronounced nor-fick and suh-fick.
When my high school played Norfolk Academy we had a cheer for them.
That cheer has been around since at least the 70s. My mom heard it when she was a student at VT
Hokiebird is right.........and don't forget Portsmuff (Portsmouth)
I grew up in Great Bridge (Chesapeake) and while many say NorFuck or Norfick, we always called it Nawfuck.
Maurertown.
(Maury-Town)
Being from there, Maurertown is nearly impossible to get people to pronounce right on the first try. It doesn't help that it only has an Italian restaurant, tire shop and post office, all within 100 yards of each other
I've gotten several sets of tires there (not back to back:). Did you go to Central? I won't make fun of you.
I did I did haha class of '14
That's "byoo na vista" and "mare uh vil"
As my sister in law in Maryville says "you don't say maree-land so don't say maree-ville "
Murr-vul, Tennessee*
Fun story: my grandmother grew up there and that's how I got my name - but it's pronounced normally and not like the town because my older brother (and probably half my family) kept messing up the pronunciation.
I have a brother-in-law named Staunton, pronounced "Stanton".
Everybody would pronounce that like the author of The Inferno Not the correct way!
My money is on hahnakur
Hooker to Honaker. Honaker to Hooker.
Honaker? I barely even know her
I'll see myself out....
Okay, now I need to know. Is it Hooon-acre? I would have gone Hahn-uh-ker.
hoe - nayker
Hannakuh? Now, I can't get Adam Sandler singing out of my head.
Kickers and punters have always been a soft spot for me. I hope this guy is a world beater for us.
I think we need to offer any kid whose name is related to beer. Stout, Lager, Cerveza, Pilsner, offer them all!
Woah, let's not get too excited here. We have to have some limits, or we'll end up offering some kid named Zima.
I said related to beer, not "pretending to be beer".
Exactly. It's like a step brother that you may not realize isn't actually related at all. Vigilance is all I'm asking for.
I've got a guy
The hoos do have a kid named Zane Zandier committed to them. His clear nickname would be Zima, right?
He'll have to earn it, right after his cleats, helmet, jersey, number, locker, real name, water bottle, and privilege to breathe at practice.
And prove his basketball skills are good enough
And win a cage match against a teammate.
Apparently while un-clothed too. Wonder if that behavior comes from the Zima drinking or if Zima drinking is just a signature of the character.
FTFY
I'm partial to Andy's pal, Al
But what kind of tackler is he? If he cannot also function like a back-up LB...
Always nice to have a Stout leg on the roster in case the offense sputters.
What's his 40 time.
It's all covered by Bitter, who has been working out lately, so he's Extra Strong (Skrong?) Bitter.
I want to see a kicker light up a return man or a cause a big play
The next joey slye
Hopefully we'll be talking about how Joey Slye was the previous Jordan Stout.
Stout for Heisman!
In the 2017 Class, Kohl's kicking and punting camps (rating from August 2016) rated him #21 in punting and #52 in kicking with this blurb,
Stout had strong showings at the 2016 UC Challenge and 2015 Dec Southern Showcase Camps. If you took out his lowest couple punts at the National Scholarship Camp, he'd have been in the top five. He has one of the fastest legs in the country and is developing into one of the top combo prospects in the country. Stout's talent is at the very top of the 2017 class. He hit 5.0 hang-times at the UC Challenge in the competition. His consistency needs to get a little better to match his leg talent.

I watched a little bit of that Memphis/WKU bowl game last night, I think Memphis had both a kicker and punter who were 4x All-WhateverConferenceTheyAreIn.
Shibest can identify some kicking talent and coach them up.
Disregarding his inconsistencies, he's a very consistent prospect
Ha, I get what you are doing. But really, what that quote says to me is that we will have a monster punter once he's had some upper level coaching on his technique. Yes you can work out, but some people naturally have 'big' legs (or arms for QBs). That quote is what got me excited about this commitment.
Kohls Kicking must have a UNC grad working the data
My dad has been raving about Stout since he saw one of Honaker's games earlier this year, even saying that he expected him to come to Tech and start at Kicker right away before I reminded him that Slye still has a year left.
