The Pittsburgh Steelers have stabilized their punting situation the past two years. But that didn’t stop the team from inviting unique Penn State punter Gabriel Nwosu to rookie minicamp.
The Senior Specialist All-Star Game official X account posted about Nwosu’s invite Monday afternoon.
“Congratulations to Gabe Nwosu as he is headed to Rookie Minicamp with the Pittsburgh Steelers,” wrote the account.
Nwosu will bring his truly one-of-a-kind type punter size to Steelers rookie minicamp. He stands at 6-foot-6 and 313 pounds.
To say the least, Nwosu is massive for a punter,” wrote Steelers Now’s Chris Ward. “Nwosu had a standout season for the Nittany Lions last season with 15 of his 38 attempts being pinned within the 20 yard line.
“He averaged 46 yards per punt in his lone season as a punter. Against Michigan State, Nwosu booted a career-long 68-yard punt.”
