Auburn’s versatile special-teams weapon with elite kickoff pop
John McGuire is a highly rated Auburn specialist who arrived from Thompson as a top in-state punter/kicker prospect, and his biggest edge is versatility: he can handle kickoffs, field goals and punting, with reports praising his exceptional kickoff hang time. Auburn listed him as making his debut in 2025 as the kickoff specialist, so the key question is how much his all-around leg talent can translate into a defined role. For a team that values flexibility and hidden yards in the kicking game, he is a strong fit.
