An onside kick can be used at any time to create a big play, but usually these kicks are employed when the game is on the line and the kicking team desperately needs the ball in the hands of its offense.

RAY GUY PROKICKER.COM HIGH SCHOOL ALL-AMERICANS

By Mark Maynard / Prokickernews.com

ASHLAND, Ky. – The inaugural Ray Guy Prokicker.com High School All-Americans include some of the nation’s top punting, kicking, kickoff and long-snapping prospects.

Players were selected after much vetting from the Prokicker.com staff, who watched and coached the players during camps, and also by how the players performed on the field during the 2011 high school season.

“Our staff has personally watched these players and worked with these players during camps,” said Prokicker.com founder and camp director Rick Sang. “We’ve seen them and know what they can do.”

There were four All-America categories – punting, kicking, long-snapping and kickoff specialist. The last category is believed to be the first of its kind in receiving All-America postseason recognition.

“There are a lot of facets to special teams and we feel like this is an important one that sometimes gets overlooked when it comes to being recognized as the best,” Sang said.

Selecting the first All-America team with the Ray Guy Prokicker.com brand was something that Sang wanted to make sure was done as accurately and fairly as possible. Prokicker.com rankings and ratings weighed into the selection process but only because that meant staff members had either worked with or watched these honorees perform.

“We’re proud of what these young men have accomplished for their high school teams and look for each one of them to play at the college level,” Sang said.

Eight different states were represented: Georgia (two), Texas (two), Florida (two), Kentucky, Virginia (two), Arizona, South Carolina and Arkansas.

Among the first-, second- and third-team selections three players – kickers Harrison Butker, Nick Tankersley and Patrick Sohrt – were selected as Ray Guy Prokicker.com All-Americans in two different categories.

Butker, a combo kicker for The Westminster Schools near Atlanta, was the first-team All-America kicker and third-team punter.

Sohrt, the left-footed kicker from St. Joseph High School in Victoria, Tex., was a second-team All-America selection as both a punter and kickoff specialist.

Tankersley, who helped Manatee High School capture the Florida Class 7A championship, was the second-team kicker and the third-team kickoff specialist. He was 18 of 26 on field goals and 68 of his 100 kickoffs went for touchbacks.

Ray Guy, the former All-Pro punter for the Oakland Raiders who is considered the greatest punter in NFL history, was proud to lend his name to the inaugural Ray Guy Prokicker.com High School All-Americans.

“These young men have proven that they’re the best of the best,” Guy said. “I’ve seen many of them personally in camps and know the work ethic that goes with being a great kicker or punter. These guys have that something special, that ‘it’ factor, that separates them from the pack. This is just a steppingstone for many of them. We look for them to do great things at the next level.”

First-team selections were:

punter: Thomas Meadows (6-0, 170, senior), Goochland, Va., Goochland High School, Purdue commit.Averaged 41.2 yards per punt for Goochland High School, the Division II Class A state runner-up. He had 13 punts inside the 20 and allowed only 14 return yards. He was first-team district, first-team region, All-Metro and participated in the Chesapeake Bowl where he punted five times for a 46-yard average.

Meadows credits his early experience with Prokicker.com into making him a top-notch punter.

“They really teach the techniques,” Meadows said. “I took a different approach than most kids my age did. Most kids my age went out and kicked the ball. I wanted to learn how to do it the right way. I wanted to establish my form. In my opinion, and in Rick Sang’s opinion, I’ve got some of the best form of anybody my age.”

Meadows will compete for the punting, kickoff and placekicking jobs when he gets to Purdue this summer.

“It depends on how I do in the offseason but I could be doing all three (for Purdue in the fall).”

kicker: Harrison Butker (6-3, 170, junior), Atlanta, Ga., Westminster.All-State First Team in Class AA Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia Sports Writers Association; All Metro, all classification, in Atlanta/South Fulton area; participated in Georgia Junior Bowl.

Butker made 16 of 17 field goals with only miss coming from 59 yards. Butker connected on a 51-yard field goal. He also had touchbacks on 47 of 59 kickoffs (80 percent) and also punted for a 39.5 average on 33 punts. Four of them were more than 50 yards with six downed inside the opponent’s 20.

 “It was an incredible season,” Butker said. “A lot of credit goes to the (long)-snappers and holders. I was lucky to have a kicking coach (Joe Sturniolo) and a head coach (Gerry Romberg) who liked to kick.”

KICKOFF SPECIALIST: Zach Burgy-VanHoose (6-1, 214, senior), Pikeville, Ky., Pikeville High School. Led high school team to Class A state semifinals by booming 85 percent of kickoffs for touchbacks. kicker for Kentucky in Border Bowl against Tennessee and was selected as kicker on the WMYT All-Mountain Team.

“It definitely is great to be able to end the high school season with that award. It makes you feel good; makes you feel like all the hard work is finally paying off.”

LONG-SNAPPER: Rey Higuera (5-11, 225, senior), Gilbert, Ariz., Perry High School. Arizona All-State 5A Division II first-team; All-Region, All-Section first team; snapped in Semper Fidelis Bowl; Prokicker.com national champion long-snapper for 2011.

“I’ve been long-snapping since I was a sophomore but I didn’t start getting competitive in it until the end of my junior year,” Higuera said. “Our team had a guy who was long-snapping and getting fairly good. We had heard about a coach (Ben Bernard) in Phoenix (Arizona Elite Long snapping in North Phoenix) who turned out a lot of Division I long-snappers. I really enjoyed playing football but was not the most athletically gifted person. I had to work to get where I am.”

Second-team selections were:

punter/KICKOFF SPECIALIST: Patrick Sohrt (6-2, 205, senior), Victoria, Tex., St. Joseph High School. Sohrt did a little bit of everything for his team in the kicking department but excelled on punt and kickoffs.

“I actually think my punting got better from last year. We had a 1-9 season, so we did punt a lot,” Sohrt said.

Despite St. Joseph’s record, Sohrt was named a first-team All-State punter. “I’d like to do punting and kickoffs (in college) but I’ll do whatever they ask me to do. I just want the chance.”

kicker: Nick Tankersley (6-1, 165, senior), Bradenton, Fla., Manatee High School. Tankersley had a huge season for Florida 7A state champion Manatee High School, which finished 13-2. “When you play that many games, it’s good experience and good exposure.” Tankersley made 18 of 26 field goals with a long of 53 yards, a school record. Four of his misses were from 50-plus yards. He also had 68 touchbacks on 100 kickoffs and punted 39 times for a net average of 37.18. He allowed only 28 punt return yards.

“He can do all of it (in the kicking game),” said Manatee assistant coach Dennis Stallard. “He’s probably more natural kicker/kickoff guy. He taught himself through what he learned at Prokicker.com camps. It’s not a natural motion for a kid with a soccer background.”

LONG-SNAPPER: Ike Powell (6-3, 240, sophomore), Tifton, Ga., Tift County High School. Powell was the Ray Guy Prokicker.com National Championship runner-up for 2011 and was the national winner in the underclassman division.He was All-Area in a four-county area. Powell is also the youngest Prokicker.com All-American selection and the top-ranked player in his class at long-snapper.

Here’s what Jacob Claycomb, a Prokicker.com staff member, said about Powell:

“Ike has always been really gifted. You can tell he works hard at it. He has his own target in the back yard. Most kids don’t know their exact score before you tell him. Ike threw the last ball and said ‘Oh, man, 24 points.’ He had a running clock in his head. Ike’s pretty much the whole package. He’s probably one of the better long-snappers I’ve had come through the camps. He’s such a hard worker.

During the national championships his fastest snap was .77 and his average was .83.

 Third-team selections were:

punter (tie): Mitchell Ludwig (6-0, 170, junior), Abingdon, Va., Abingdon High School. First-team district and regional punter, second-team kicker; Virginia preps.com AA First-Team All-State punter and Virginia Preps.com AA underclassmen First Team All-State punter; set five school kicking and punting records; one state of Virginia record submitted (single game six punts for 50.33 yard average).

Harrison Butker (6-3, 170, junior), Atlanta, Ga., Westminster (See information above).

kicker: Houston Ray (5-11, 170, junior), Van Buren, Ark., Van Buren High School.

KICKOFF SPECIALIST (tie): Sean Covington (6-1, 175, junior), St. Petersburg, Fla., St. Petersburg High School; Nick Tankersley(6-1, 165, senior), Bradenton, Fla., Manatee High School.

LONG-SNAPPER (tie): Mike Sulka (6-4, 240, senior), Bluffton, S.C., Bluffton High School; Fred McClimans (6-0, 205, senior), Flower Mound, Tex., Flower Mound High School.

NASHVILLE – A rising senior long-snapper with superb technique was among those identified in the talent search during the Ray Guy Prokicker.com camp on Friday.

Ben Groelke, who attends Leesville High School in North Carolina, probably will be ranked among the top five in the nation after Friday’s performance. He went 21 fo 30 on charting and had a fast snap of .75.

Prokicker staff coach David Hood said Groelke “was one of the best I’ve seen all summer.”

Groelke, he said, is a college prospect who will probably be ranking near the top in the national talent search.

“He’s got a chance to snap in college on the Divisiion II or Divisiion III level for sure,” Hood said. “He’s a pretty talented kid. He’s got a thick chest, thick legs and athletically is looking good. His size could keep him from getting too many Division I looks.”

As far as technique, few are better than Groelke, who had fast snaps of .75 and .78.

Underclassman Thomas Farst, who will be a junior at Briarcrest Christian in Memphis, has had a good performance. While he made only 60 percent of his field goals, his long kickoffs and hang time raised eyebrows.

“He had a leg for all the kicks,” said Prokicker staff coach Logan O’Connor.  “He’s got some time to work things out with his technique. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in the future.”

Farst won the camp’s Long Distance Kickoff competition with a 68-yard boot that also had a 3.75 hang time. He also had kickoffs of 68, 62 and 61.

“That shows what kind of length strength he has,” O’Connor said. “He’s definitely one for us to watch.”

Long-snapper, kickers stars in Steel City

By Mark Maynard/ Prokickernews.com

PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh brought out the stars during the Ray Guy Prokicker.com camps at Upper St. Clair High School.

Long-snapper Zach Ross, buoyed by a 22-of-30 charting performance, zoomed up to No. 5 overall in the Prokicker.com national standings. The rising senior who will play this fall at Franklin Regional High School  (Pa.) is impressive, said staffer Jacob Claycomb.

“He’s not a real big guy but he can throw a good ball,” Claycomb said. “He has the opportunity if he works at it. You can tell he works hard. I was pretty happy with him.”

Ross came out as a charter only but stuck around for some individual instruction from Claycomb, who called Ross “a good kid, very coachable. He wanted to work and get better. That’s a good sign.

Two kickers, also both rising seniors, were identified in the talent search by staff member Logan O’Connor.

Matt Carter of Wheeling Park (W.Va.) High School was consistently knocking long kickoffs during charting. While he was only 60 percent on field goal attempts, the strong leg was enough for O’Connor.

“He’s got plenty of leg,” O’Connor said. “Kickoffs were the main thing for him but he’s got room to improve. His hang time could have been better; it averaged around 3.5. But he’s got the distance down.”

Killan Mulkern, who was kicking on his home turf at Upper St. Clair, made 70 percent of his field goals and took three of four kickoffs into the end zone.

“He averaged about 3.7 on hang time and needs to get closer to 4,” O’Connor said. “But he has a strong enough leg, too.”

O’Connor said a high school kicker with a hang time of around 4.0 is ideal for what college coaches are wanting to see. However, it’s not often that happens, he said.

Kickers can improve hang time without hurting distance through proper technique, O’Connor said.

“Without a doubt it can be done,” he said. “A lot of kids don’t make good clean ball contact and they lose a lot of distance on kickoffs.

Prokicker.com uses a hurdle drill to make sure kickers get the maximum distance and hang time on every kick.

Long snappers keep a low profile

By Vicky Hart / Argonaut

A single person’s name is easily lost among 100 others on the University of Idaho football roster, but for long snappers, coach Robb Akey said, anonymity is a sign of success.

“If nobody ever knows who the long snapper is, that’s a great thing because that means he’s doing a great job,” Akey said. “When you’re talking about a long snapper then you’ve got some issues.”

Like kickers, long snappers are responsible for making punts and field goals fly smoothly through the uprights. A long snapper must throw the ball between his legs with speed and accuracy while protecting the line of scrimmage.

“Anybody could stand there and throw the ball like (normal), but if you can look between your legs, throw it and block somebody, you’ve got a chance,” Akey said.

Most of Idaho’s long snappers come from an offensive or defensive position, but some specialize and only come out for kicks.

“A few years back, we had a young man who, for four years was here as our long snapper, and that’s all he did,” Akey said. “He didn’t play an offense or defense position, he just snapped.”

At least two Vandals will be appointed as long snappers for the upcoming season, Akey said. One will snap the ball 14 yards for punts while the other will need to throw it only seven yards for field goals.

“Ultimately, on the punt team, we’d like the long snapper to be a guy who can get the ball back there on target and quickly,” Akey said. “We also like a guy that can run the field and make a tackle.”

The added challenge for short snappers comes in stopping two defensive linemen immediately after releasing the ball.

“On the field goal team, that guy has got to be able to block a couple of 300-pound defensive tackles,” Akey said. “He doesn’t need to run anywhere.”

Before a field goal, the short snapper approached the line of scrimmage and all the other linemen match his position on the field. A holder sits seven yards behind him, waiting to catch the ball and place it for the kick, Akey said. “He’s got to put it on that target, it’s got to be perfect every time,” Akey said. “He’s going to have at least 600 pounds over the top of him… and he’s got to be able to hold his position.”

Generally that’s a lineman body, Akey said, because as soon as that ball moves, these guys are attacking the line of scrimmage

On field goals, the short snapper is the first defense against the opposing line. His primary job though is getting the ball to its target in less than a second. The perfect long snapper is a player with the ability to protect the line without sacrificing accuracy, Akey said.

“Sometimes you find a guy who’s capable of throwing the ball between his legs, but you put linemen over the top of him and the snaps aren’t so good anymore,” Akey said.

Bigger players, like linemen, typically make good short snappers because they are accustomed to holding their ground against giant defensive linemen, Akey said.

The Vandals’ reliable long snapper, Chris Ramos, will graduate in May and the vital spot is up for grabs. Akey said he has begun assessing offensive linemen and linebackers who might fit the bill for the 2011 season.

“We’ve got to find the guy that can get the snap back there, that’s the first thing,” Akey said.

Redshirt freshman Mike Marboe (OL) is the top contender for short snapper, since he will probably play center for the rest of the game, Akey said. There are a number of players up for the long snapping position, and Akey named Robert Siavii (LB), Marius Burgsmueller (DE), Tyler Brooks (LB), and Homer Mauga (LB) as a few candidates.

The position comes with a lot of pressure and little recognition — messing up one time is enough to erase years of flawless snaps. A long snapper must throw the ball with both hands and then be ready to defend his position against more than twice his weight.

“It could be a big guy, a fast guy, it doesn’t matter, the key is getting the ball back there. He’s got to be on target every time and it’s got to be quick,” Akey said. “The No. 1 thing is that he’s got to be able to throw a football between his legs with somebody standing over the top of him that wants to rip his head off — that’s kind of the deal.”
