Brace yourselves. Aussie-style punts are coming to the Coliseum. On Friday, USC football locked up a special import, getting the signature of punter Chris Tilbey.

He looks to soon be on the Trojans’ roster after transferring from the City College of San Francisco. USC has had luck chasing talent at CCSF before, getting both O.J. Simpson and Al Cowlings to transfer from there in the 1960s.

Tilbey however, could be more of a secret weapon than a bona fide star. He’s a product of Prokick Australia, an academy that converts Aussie Rules and rugby players to American football through kicking and punting.

The Aussies who have made their way stateside have had a ton of success of late, with Memphis’s Tom Hornsey and Utah’s Tom Hackett winning the last two Ray Guy Awards, which is given annually to the nation’s best punter.

Can Tilbey get to that level? We’ll have to see. He averaged 39.4 yards per punt in 2014, which ranked 11th in the state at the junior college level.

Senior Kris Albarado is set to be the Trojans’ punter for the third straight season, with redshirt freshman Reid Budrovich behind him on the depth chart.

Tilbey played just one season at City, leaving him with three years of eligibility. He’s likely set to walk on to USC’s roster following the walk-on roster expansion after the season opener vs. Arkansas State. That’s around the same time that long snapper Jake Olson could make an appearance.

Want highlights? Here ya go.
