Since finding Kicking World, Ben has remained a super loyal student that is bought in on our coaching methodology. He trains with me regularly for private lessons and has shown significant growth at our camps and in his in-game performance in only 2 full seasons in working with us. Ben hits a high end-over-end field goal that jumps off his foot quickly. He used a half inch block his senior year and is already off the ground as of Nov ’22. His kickoffs are routinely in the 60-65 yard range with a consistent 3.8-3.85 hang time which is a big improvement from when he started. I project he’ll add 2-3 more yards and 0.5+ more seconds by this summer. He’s finished in the top 10 on Day 2 fields goals at our 2021 National Showcase (96 campers), and outright won one of our 40 camper instructional camps this summer making consecutive kicks through 55 yards.
I think Ben is right on the verge of being an FBS level guy and a sure FCS level guy. Either a walk-on type FBS or potentially scholarship level FCS. Reliable kicker under pressure – calm & collected personality, very respectful of his coaches, listens well, and gets along with other students. A definite value add to your program. I know he’s keen on playing somewhere in Colorado and Utah in particular as he’s an avid skier and mountain biker.
