USC will have six tight ends on scholarship next season but zero punters. I ran that past Coach Pete Carroll but for now I’ll let the readers make their own observations.

For those keeping score at home, the tight ends are Fred David, Dale Thompson, Jimmy Miller, Nick Vanderboom, Gerald Washington and Anthony McCoy.
The current punter is Taylor Odegard now that kicker Troy Van Blarcom is no longer considered a viable candidate. There’s always a chance Odegard would earn a scholarship in the fall, which would make it 6-1.
