Interesting 2018 stat line:
*2018 FGs Made: 59, 48, 45, 45. Missed: (53), (50).
Not sure if his team is just that good inside that range or what, but coach only allowed attempts at 45 yards or longer. Placed a bit of trust in him on that 59 yarder
.ETA: Looking closer at the stats (only 1 XPA but 70 kickoffs), it appears he was the dedicated punter and kickoff specialist in 2018 and they had a different kicker taking the short kicks and XPs. Makes sense to put him out there for the longer FG attempts, just hope he has accuracy to go with the leg strength
according to 247 it’s a scholarship. He earned it with his performance at the kicking camp.

247: "He was part of an interesting platoon with his cousin Jasen Zirkel where Jared attempted six field goals, making four, and Jasen focused on the shorter attempts."

Numbers on defensive side of ball still indicate 5 DL, 2 LB, 3 DBs. Pittman might get 6 OL slots as well.
I don't know how the academic requirements work but they may not get the academic leniency that schlorship athletes get. And UGAs academic requirements are difficult.
And out of state tuition is very expensive. There are academic schlorships available but schools have to be very careful how they give them to athletes.
With a 3.9 GPA academics should not be a problem.
A PWO cannot get ANY scholarship from the institution academic or otherwise.
