Sciba gets the nod from ESPN for 2020 first team all american

Great for Nick. Hope he continues his FG accuracy this coming season, along with some more depth on kick offs.
How about 7 first team AA’s from the ACC? Impressive.
It will be tough to repeat, but hope Sciba can keep up his accuracy. Wake will be breaking in a new long-snapper and new holder this season (since Maggio and Diemel are gone), so the timing will definitely change for him. They signed a long-snapper in December who is supposedly ranked number one in the nation for long-snapping, so that is promising. Wake also shows one long-snapper on the roster (Noah Turner), so I assume he will handle all long-snapping in the Spring and compete for the starting job in the Fall when the new long-snapper is available. At holder, I see Zach Murphy was listed on the depth chart on the roster page as the backup holder last season, so I would assume he will be the starting holder next year with Maggio graduating.
On a related note, Wake has to find a replacement for Maggio. He had a great career and made second team all-ACC his senior year, so he will be hard to replace as a four year starter. Wake brought in Ivan Mora last year and he was very highly rated out of high school. I also see Murphy is listed as the back-up behind Maggio on the depth chart for punting last season (also listed as backup placekicker), so I assume he will be competing with Mora for the punting job. I assume we will not know who the starting punter is until the Fall competition, based on past years. For kickoffs, I assume it will be Sciba, Murphy, Mora, or they will bring in a grad-transfer to handle kickoffs like they did two years ago.
Mora will do the punting and do a good job at it.
He could also do kickoffs if needed. He has the leg for it.

I would like to think that if Mora had the leg to boot touchbacks 80% of the time, he wouldn’t have redshirted this year.

True, but as DeacsorDie said: If he could do it 80% of the time, he should have done it this past year.

I agree and don’t understand why he didn’t do any kick offs, especially during the last 4 games. As previously mentioned, I saw him routinely kick it into the end zone during his HS games.
Kickoffs for WF were worse this year than I’ve ever seen in the ACC ever. That bad. So Sciba, who is money on FG, should not be kicking off.
Nightmare for Clawson. He nearly admitted not knowing what to do...at a loss.
He said Sciba’s leg got tired. Give kickoff job to Mora.
McNeil grew up in Lumberton. Not sure if that’s where his dad is. That’s a little far away but who knows their situation.
