MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Half of the Big Ten's 14 teams this season have a punter produced by Prokick Australia.

The development academy down under has been supplying major college football programs with game-ready special teamers at a remarkable rate.

Purdue's Jack Ansell, Minnesota's Mark Crawford, Rutgers' Adam Korsak, Ohio State's Jesse Mirco, Illinois' Hugh Robertson and Iowa's Tory Taylor are all from Australia.

Indiana’s James Evans is a New Zealander.

Prokick has landed full scholarships for 190 players and counting. It was founded in 2007 by Nathan Chapman after a brief experience in the NFL.
