From The Wolverine’s EJ Holland:
At 6-foot-3, 170 pounds, Doman has great size and a big leg. Will be a combo player at the next level, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him handle kickoffs, field goals and punts very early on in his career. Terrific hang time on punts and uses an array of techniques to put different spins on the ball when attempting to pin opponents deep. Accurate kicker with consistency on short and intermediate kicks. Capable of making long kicks as well. May be a better punter but definitely above average as a kicker.
Technically sound punter with a long frame. Consistent in his punts in both hang time and distance. Also an excellent kicker, going perfect in his senior year with a long of 53 yards.
2021 Outlook: Doman has been billed as a college-ready punter so he’ll probably get a look at handling the duties from day one. Senior Brad Robbins didn’t see action in 2018, and obviously 2020 didn’t count toward his eligibility, but he’s been average at best while at U-M and is a senior in the classroom. It seems unlikely that Michigan would keep two scholarship punters, so Doman may be the guy in 2021.
