Ben Cowart '17 Recruiting Profile

I come from an athletic family. I have been playing sports since I was three and have loved it ever since. My goal is to graduate college and get a a job that I'll love doing. I have only been kicking for 2 years now, which probably sounds like I'm not very experienced. I use to be dominant with my right leg but I broke it when I was four years old, so I had to start using my left leg for everything. That's why I'm part of the rare lefty kickers of the world. When I found out that I had a pretty good leg I began to kick the football when I was fifteen. I decided to keep o practice kicking from then on and yes it was frustrating at the beginning. I taught myself the techniques for FG, P, and KO. I was my high school's kicker my junior and senior year. I was able to be the starter because I worked non stop at kicking. I attended a Kicking World Camp for the south states and got 1st place in punting and was invited to a showcase in San Diego. I was ranked number 2 kicker in the state of Alabama. Once I put my mind to something I get it done, no short cuts or anything just hard work. You won't regret it.
