Jimmy Newman story
Jimmy Newman built his college career from 2009 through 2012 as a placekicker from Oxford, AL wearing No. 82, spending time with Wake Forest. The clearest part of Jimmy Newman's career was his special-teams scoring: 247 kicking points, 42 made field goals on 58 attempts, and 121 extra points across 39 career games in the available record. His largest box-score season came in 2011 with Wake Forest. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.
Special-teams careers depend on repeatable opportunity, not just one highlight. With 39 career games in the available record, his career has enough shape to show both opportunity and production across Wake Forest.
The arc is straightforward: Jimmy Newman moved through the depth chart, found a larger role, and turned that opportunity into production that can be understood through standard football numbers.
