EP: 158 The Accidental Football Punter Becomes One Of The Best In The Country

September 10, 2019

www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com In seventh grade, Albert Jang knew his dream school was West Point.

In eighth grade, he accidentally got on a bus that gave him a route to the Army’s prestigious academy.

“My teacher said if we were taking weight training, go onto the platform,” Jang said. “He forgot to say, ‘Only for football players.’ So I got on a bus not knowing where I was going. Then they took us on the field. My friend had a pair of cleats and I didn’t want to back out now.

“They said, ‘Go to your positions.’ I played soccer so I thought, ‘I guess I can kick the ball.’ It worked out. It’s a blessing for sure.”

Jang, now a senior at Peachtree Ridge, is rated among the top punters in the country. He was the first to commit to Army’s 2020 class in March.
