Top kicking Prospects across the nation!
The Sporting News When it comes to the recruitment of kickers and punters, the process is a bit different.

Also, some programs encourage walk-ons for the position, and wait to award scholarships when the player is on campus.

Since usage of time is one element in football that the coach can control, we have been motivated to write this book. While all coaches extol the value of the kicking game, the…

Before an athlete can be recruited…he must be found. Credible recruiting combines specializing in the kicking, punting, and long snapping field, are extremely rare and even then only a very limited number of college coaches on the national level actually attend. The athletes and coaches that do participate usually live in close proximity to the area or region of the country in which the combine is located or they are fortunate to have the financial means and time to travel great distances. This format may prove successful, but it leaves out the vast majority of the nation’s talent by not…

Anderson is expected to compete with fellow incoming recruit Ty Long for the starting position. Returnee Trey Ragland, the team's punter the last two seasons,…
