When coming up with a list of the immediate impact freshman from the incoming freshman class for the Michigan Wolverines, I didn’t expect a specialist to make the top of my list. Tommy Doman of Orchard Lake St. Mary’s is a player who could break the starting lineup at punter as a true freshman with his pedigree. Ranked by most services as the top punter in the nation, Doman also is ranked as a top eight kicker in the class, as well, making him the best combo specialist prospect in the class.
What is the scenario in which Doman makes an impact right away? Currently, heading into the 2021 season, Jake Moody is the only remaining kicker on the roster who has game experience. Having one player handle the kicking, kickoff and punting duties is quite daunting, and isn’t doing your team any favors. Given Doman is also ranked a bit higher at punter, it’s seemingly a great opportunity for him to contribute right away.
