Sunday, August 25, 2019 21 NWA College Football Preview 2019 Special teams For every positive play last season — like top-shelf kicking by Connor Limpert and a couple of good punt re- turns by Deon Stewart — there were myriad embarrassing moments, with the faux fair catch punt return touch- down by North Texas easily the worst. Kickoff return touchdowns allowed the following two weeks at Auburn and vs. Texas A&M were also costly. A lot of the time, it seemed the kicking game was just trying to hang on in 2018. Bar- ry Lunney Jr. was appointed special teams coordinator over the winter, and the organization and execution on the kicking teams are expected to make a leap. Sam Loy, a two-year punter at Vanderbilt, has a chance to beat out returner Reid Bauer for punting duties. Limpert is expected to be the kickoff man again. Stewart suffered a sea- son-ending injury in camp, and Mon- taric Brown will be returning punts. De'Vion Warren, who had a kickoff return touchdown vs. Auburn in 2017, is preparing for his third year in that position. The coverage units should be improved. Arkansas position analysis NWA Democrat-Gazette File Photo/BEN GOFF Arkansas' Connor Limpert kicks off to Missouri to start the game Nov. 23 at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo.
