When junior college punter Brad Dunavant (Athens, Texas/Trinity Valley Community College) signed with Toledo, it didn’t register that he would be making history of sorts.
When Dunavant signed with the Rockets, he became the first Toledo signee for new head coach Matt Campbell, who officially took over on Dec. 12. The 6-foot, 200-pound sophomore will enter into the MAC with expectations of being a game-changer in the special teams department.
“I guess you can say it’s a big deal,” Dunavant said of being Campbell’s first signee, “but honestly, I didn’t really care if I was the first to sign. I just want to go in and help win games for them. When the game’s on the line, I want them to know that I’ll never crack under pressure.
