Have you seen this? Along with Issac Punts, I think this kid (Tanner Brown), has just followed in the footsteps of Brandon Aubrey to go from the UFL to the NFL. Still, there are only 32 highly paid kicking jobs in the world — he'll have to compete, but this sure is a great way to get ALL 32 TEAMS to take notice. Wow. _ _ _ _ Guess what? By the time I wrote this, he's already been picked up by the SAINTS. 😵‍💫

The NCAA D1 Cabinet unanimously voted to approve the age-based eligibility model. It's a landmark moment for the NCAA, marking a shift away from the model that allowed athletes four seasons of competition over five years with no age restrictions. The age-based model calls for an athlete's eligibility clock upon initial full-time enrollment in college or at the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs earlier. The Cabinet's decision is not final until its meeting concludes on Wednesday. The age-based eligibility implementation will begin this summer. Recruits starting in 2027 are age-based only.

Camp #2 is in the books! Another great kicking day... maybe a little too sunny — make sure to wear some sunscreen! It was a KICKING ONLY camp (not punting on Saturday) and we covered a lot of ground... from best drills to improve contact and accuracy, to kick off drills and instruction to kick higher, farther and more consistently. We even through in some specialty kicks to work on to put more into "your bag of tricks". And a quick shout out to one of our counselors (all of our camp counselors are great with kids, btw), but we had our first female instructor, McKynzee Schepp (Lakeland College) help us out, by nailing a 45 yard FG and showing the boys a thing or two. 😁 Our counselors get just as much out of camp and the kids. You wouldn't believe how much pressure they feel (because they want to be impressive for the younger kids). When you're done playing high school ball, and make your way into college kicking, become a counselor... it's a great experience! _ _ _ Next up, CAMP + COMBINE in Sparta, WI on 6/12 and K&P CAMP in DeForest, WI on 6/13. Still room to sign up! Come join us! kickerscamp.com

My older brother just sent this clipping to me - for no other reason than to share a kicking competition in Indianapolis (where he lives) that's going on between Colts 2025 starter Spencer Shrader (got hurt during the season) and Colts 2025 starter Blake Grupe (his replacement). They both are proven. They both are really good. They both will likely be starters "somewhere" in the NFL, but your team will only use one. Which do you choose? I got in that battle many years ago... and lost. Either decision would change my life. Learn to compete. Embrace the competition. Win or lose, be grateful for the opportunity and know that you gave your best shot. You might be one of the 32 best kickers in the world. Or you might be Mr. 39. 😬
