Sometimes, fans may have trouble remembering the name of their team’s punter. That’s unlikely to be the case for Auburn fans in 2025.
Hudson Kaak transferred to Auburn from Oklahoma State ahead of the 2025 season. The Week 1 depth chart for Auburn’s game at Baylor is out, and it includes a pronunciation guide.
Kaak’s name is pronounced how one might expect. Based on a social media post reacting to seeing that pronunciation guide in all caps, Kaak embraces the giggles that might come with using his name.
Whoever made this depth chart didn’t hold back on my pronunciation guide #hudsoncock https://t.co/HvXbEhCF5P
