Not trying to argue, but can you give an example or two where it did work? (no previous football experience). Thanks
Australia has produced something like 5 or 6 Ray Guy winners since the mid 2000s. Bama had James Burnip who was a stand out. Then there's the Iowa kid. To get a vibe of how common this is:
Tory Taylor’s friendships from across the football conferences and on the field help him feel comfortable far from home.

"Taylor has so far played three Australian punters in Iowa’s opening games: Indiana’s James Evans, Iowa State’s Corey Dunn and Smith. Next on the schedule will be Purdue’s Jack Ansell, Minnesota’s Mark Crawford and Illinois’ Blake Hayes. One of his best friends — Xavier Subotsch — plays for Appalachian State.
Taylor was frank this spring when he spoke about how little he knew about American football. Some of the logistics of when to celebrate or even how the game works only came through game experience.
That’s common for Australian punters at first. Subotsch said that while he had watched college football for a few years from Australia before playing, he had similar struggles as Taylor."
