Immediate Future:

With the graduation of Kyle Brindza, Yoon should step in and immediately take over his duties on kick-offs and as place kicker.

Long Term/Career:

Yoon is considered the top kicker in this class by a wide margin.  His highlights show that he can routinely hit field goals from a long distance and put the ball in the endzone on kickoffs.  He should have an excellent career for the Irish.
