Signing day is officially upon us, and one of the most underrated stories has got to be the one about the University Of Miami’s newest punter.
I know, I know what you’re thinking. A punter? Really? But hear me out. Because this guy isn’t just any old punter. He’s a living and breathing unit. (RELATED: Minnesota’s Newest Starting Tackle Is An Absolute UNIT)
His name is Louis Hedley and he hails from Australia, as units like him so often do. And, it should go without saying, he’s huge:

Hedley is actually a junior college transfer from City College of San Francisco and is listed at 6’4″, 215 pounds — though there’s a chance he’s a lot bigger than that now that he’s playing for the U.
The news of Hedley’s signing traveled fast, with the Hurricanes’ official Twitter account confirming the news:
It’s signing day somewhere.

I’m just going to go out on a limb and say there’s absolutely no way this guy is 215 pounds. And there’s no way he doesn’t at least try his hand at linebacker. Even just once.
