Matt Bosher showing off his multiple skills at NFL Scouting Combin

INDIANAPOLIS — After punting, placekicking and handling kickoffs for the University of Miami the past three seasons, Jupiter's Matt Bosher won't mind becoming a specialist.

"I'm looking forward to honing it down to one, but I've been training to do all three here," Bosher said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I feel like that gives me the best chance to make a team. I don't want to cut my chances by getting rid of one."

Bosher demonstrated his skills at Lucas Oil Stadium in front of NFL personnel from every team. Before the demonstration, he said he wasn't nervous, even though he had never kicked in a dome.

"It's just another day. You practice for this day for years and years. I've gone through high school, through five years at Miami, all the off-season work I've done, and it comes to this. So it's just a matter of practicing and keeping your head down and working through everything."

Bosher (6 feet, 205 pounds) converted 45 of 53 field-goal attempts for the Hurricanes, an 85 percent success rate. Last season he was at his best in big games, hitting a 51-yarder against Ohio State and a 47-yarder in the Sun Bowl loss to Notre Dame.
