Kentucky goes down under to land another punter from Australia

The Kentucky Wildcats have had some good luck recently with punters they’ve signed from Australia, including current punter Max Duffy.
On Monday (or Tuesday in Australia), they landed another commitment from the ranks of Australian Rules Football.
As you can see below, Wilson Berry took to Twitter to announce he’d be heading to Lexington as part of the Wildcats’ 2021 recruiting class:

Prior to Berry’s commitment, the Wildcats had 10 players in their 2021 class, which ranks No. 47 nationally and No. 11 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
As you can see below, Berry had a pretty unique celebration during his days playing for Essendon in the Australian Football League.

Apparently, Berry is also the brother of Steelers punter Jordan Berry:
Also have learned that new UK punter commitment Wilson Berry is the brother of Pittsburgh Steelers punter Jordan Berry. "Big-time" pickup, I've heard. Who says punting isn't sexy?
