A kicker/punter from Australia. They must grow them special down there. Whenever I see another specialist from Australia I think of the quote from Mulan. “They are popping up… like daisies”
#48, Roland Podesta, FR, K/P
Stats
Height: 6’ 3”
Weight: 210
High school: Prokick Australia
How’d he get to The Blue™?
He comes from a specialized academy that helps players translate their booming leg from Aussie rules football to American Football.
Nickname
“Thunder Thigh”
…he even came from down under
Look-alike
Early 2000s icon, Carson Daly
Career Highlights
Since he is a true freshman this is his first experience in the northern hemisphere.
2025 Prospectus
With the departure of JFR (boo) he will be looking to slide into that starting punter position. In 2024 that position really struggled, so hopefully he can make his booming leg a weapon and a true X factor.
Is he on Twi/X?

Completely made up fact
He can literally punt the ball over them mountains.
It’s kind of cool to see a guy boom one, but man, you gotta have guys who can run under it. Punting and coverage go hand and hand. It cost the Oregon game. It’s like in baseball, all you need is a hit, not a home run, for the winning score.
How about, “The Thunder From Downunder”?
