THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Wednesday, November 18, 1970
Pros like Sheffield’s high kicks
Jimmy Sheffield has done a lot
of various things in football since
coming to Texas A&M but it is
as a punting specialist that pro
fessional scouts are watching him
intently this season.
One of four seniors on the
1970 Aggie squad, Sheffield now
has punted 58 times in 10 games
and has a 39.1 average.
Back on the press tour prior to
the season a writer asked Coach
Gene Stallings what was the
secret behind A&M’s string of
excellent punters (Phil Scoggin*
Steve O’Neal, Jimmy Sheffield)
and the Aggie coach said: “Elmer
Smith, our punting coach!”
Smith, a veteran coach of
many, many football wars, kinda
shakes off the compliment, say
ing: “I just tell ’em to keep
their toe down, their eyes on the
ball and practice a lot.”
Evidently that pays off but he
also gets them somehow to keep
the football in the air a long time
to give the coverage time to get
down the field.
The A&M theory of punting is
not for great distance, but for
height. “What we want,” says
Stallings, “is about a 40 yard
punt that will be fair caught and
no return.”
Ironically, Sheffield’s longest
punt this year was a 56-yard boot
against Baylor. But, it was low
and the Bears set up a return
and scored.
Sheffield hasn’t always been a
punting specialist. He was a
great high school quarterback at
Houston Waltrip. He sat out his
freshman season of football at
A&M while working to get schol
astically eligible.
As a sophomore, he was
pressed into service as a half
back when Larry Stegent was
hurt and he responded with 162
yards on 32 carries. His long
run was 63 against TCU and he
scored on a 20-yard run against
Texas Tech.
As a junior he shared quarter-
backing duties with Rocky Self.
He had minus yardage rushing.
He completed 16 of 36 passes for
119 yards. He also did all the
punting, booting 69 for a 39.8
average.
He and safety Dave Elmendorf
are the top pro prospects on the
young Aggie squad this season.
He’s the type of punter that could
make it big in the play-for-pay
league, booting ’em high so that
the foes can’t return ’em.
