Flynn Appleby will become the latest in the long line of Australian talent making their way to the collegiate system in the United States in the coming months; the former Collingwood AFL representative accepting a scholarship offer to punt for the football team of Big 10 school Rutgers.
Appleby played 11 games for the Pies across three seasons -- featuring as an emergency for the 2018 Grand Final after a hamstring injury knocked him out of the senior side -- before being delisted at the end of the 2020 season.
This, eventually, led to him joining a collection of former footballers to graduate through the ProKick Australia system and earn a spot on the ranks of a collegiate roster: Appleby himself joining Aussie Adam Korsak on the Rutgers roster and 55 other Australian punters in the NCAA.
In a wide-ranging conversation with ESPN’s Patrick Djordjevic, Appleby reflected upon his AFL career and the challenges that he faced along the way, the art of punting, Pro Kick Australia, and much more.
