2021 SpotlightPersonal Statement
My goal is to be a collegiate level kicker, and maybe also punter, at a strong academic university. I had a successful sophomore season as the starting varsity kicker, punter and quarterback at my high school. I had an even better junior season as kicker and punter that included recognition as the Kohl's Kicking National Player of the Week for Week 3 of the high school season and as the Special Teams Player of the Year for my conference. I was 100% on PAT's and 100% on field goals 43 yards and under. I was also a team captain for both the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Kicking and punting are my passion, and I gave up the block after freshmen season. My field goal range is up to 62 yards, and distances of 55 and under are close to automatic. For kick-offs, I had 4 touchbacks as a sophomore, and I improved to 13 touchbacks as a junior. I have a 37-yard punt average with 11 punts pinned inside the 20.
I attended a post-season Phase 3 Kicking Camp in November 2022 where I earned a ranking of "Division 1 FBS Ready" for field goals, and P3K ranks me as the #1 field goal kicker for 2025. I have a 4.5-star rating from Kohl's Kicking, and Kohl's ranks me as the #39 kicker in the nation for 2025.
In addition to football, I've played both basketball and soccer. I also coach youth soccer, and I'm a leader in Young Men's Service League. I spend more than 40 hours each year volunteering for non-profit organizations like Meals on Wheels and the Food Bank of Larimer County. I'm a certified soccer referee, and I was chosen to be a student leader at my high school as a member of the Timnath Ambassadors. I was also chosen for National Honor Society.
I'm strong academically with a 3.8 GPA, putting me in the top third of my class. As a junior, I'm taking both AP and college concurrent enrollment classes.
I've learned many lessons from football, including how to be a leader, and how to work hard and sacrifice to achieve your goals. I want to continue to play and learn in college. I like to compete and to be part of a team. I want a university with a supportive but challenging environment for both football and academics.
