Two-star recruit according to Insiders, no schools of interest listed.

I have a hard time believing that we will recruit anyone with their own website devoted to them.

That Upson kid kicks more field goals in that clip than my high school has during its entire existence!

We usually just go for it or pooch it if it is over a 35-yard attempt.

Someone should tell Brandon to go see the kicker from Otsego. Otsego is crushing its opponets by a combined score of 125-14, rated #1 in the Blade Poll and just whipped Bowling Green HS and Perrysburg (Div 1 and Div 2 schools).

I am not sure if I have his spelling right but his name is Svanberg, another list of names hard to pronounce for place-kickers. But his stats are decent, well would be perfect if it was not for botched snaps.

14-16, PATs in 3 games (both PATs were results of low bad snaps)

2 FGs 39 and 42 yds with room to space on both.

And its not like Brandon or the staff would have to go a long ways. They play host to Genoa this Friday and go to Grant's former school of Woodmore next week. Either week they should put up about 45 points.

Hasn't missed anything this year. The 43 yd. would have been good if it were from 55. Has ability to have touchbacks on all kickoffs, hangtime on those could be a little longer. Ranked highly on a national level. Very athletic plays in defensive secondary...think of recovering your own on-side, excellent speed...think swing-pass from holder on any bad snap, 4th and 5, etc.

That is the guy from Wadsworth! Nate Reed. I couldn't remember his name the other day but the Akron Beacon Journal has him rated at the top for the area kickers. Wadsworth plays Green this year so I'll have to see him play.

Come to BG, Nate! You'll get plenty of chances to kick

My brother-in-law is a student at Wadsworth. Maybe we can get someone on the inside to start working on this kid?

...extra points and kickoffs.

MAC and Freak....already working on it. I knew he had interest from and for Iowa but they have someone who has already given a verbal.

See you @ Green, but he probably won't have many place kicks because Green is a better team this year in the Suburban.
