Green Bay traded up to get Florida kicker Trey Smack in the 6th round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Whether or not he wins the job, it’s a far better selection than Anders Carlson in the sixth a few years ago. Smack was the No. 1 or 2 rated guy for most analysts. Carlson was a complete surprise and had a weak track record from 40+ yards. As luck would have it, six years ago he was in the same field goal group as @Ryan Schroeder at a national scholarship camp. While Ryan did fine, Smack was clearly among the elite even then. Enough so that I grabbed a clip from one of his kicks. This was the summer prior to his junior year in high school. It’s 40 yards I think, and he’s going off the ground. You can see how smooth it was. The elevation is exceptional. As a Packers fan, I’m excited to see him get his chance now.

Hello, my name is Nash Rogness. I am in sixth grade and love to kick field goals. I am not currently on a football team, as I am small so my parents took me out of it. I have been practicing my kicks and am planning to go back to football this fall to become and to play only the kicker position. I am probably one of the youngest kickers here at K- Skool, so if any of the more experienced kickers and coaches want to help me improve, I am happy to hear what you have to say about my form and strength. I will post a couple of videos of me kicking field goals from between 28 and 31 yards out. My farthest field goal I could currently kick is about a 32-35 yarder. I have been playing soccer my whole life so it might give me an advantage against other 6th graders who are bigger and stronger than me. I would love it if coaches and players will help me become more consistent by giving me good advice. Thank you for helping me become a better kicker, both coaches and players who have posted videos of themselves. 2 of my four videos I missed pretty badly, so any advice will help me get better at staying consistent.

My full schedule of kicking and punting camps for this Spring & Summer is now finalized. We have camps in Wisconsin, Minnesota & Iowa! 12 camps, combines and competitions in total! For more info, go to the Mike Farley's Kickers Camp Summer-Camps page! NOTE: My camps are designed for middle & high school kickers/punters to get great personalized instruction : • to actually perform better • to earn your coach's trust to get more chances to kick • to better handle in-game pressure I employ college counselors to help out and I won't let you kick your leg out! 🤣 And if you're looking for exposure, I have three opportunities for you: 1) ) WLC Ignite Combine on 4/30 (I head up the specialist staff) 25+ NCAA coaches in attendance. 2) Minnesconsin MEGA CAMP on 6/17 (I head up the specialist staff) 60+ NCAA coaches in attendance! 3) Midwest Kicking & Punting Championship on 7/17 (I run the show, — 1000's of views on YT)! Check it out! _ _ _ If you can't make it to my camps, I highly recommend that you find a kicking camp in your area to go to. Mostly, we teach the same kinds of things, the difference often is how many reps you get and how personalized the instruction is for you. Even at showcase-type camps, just having the opportunity to compete with others who are both worse and better than you is great practice prior to your Fall football season. I don't endorse others kicking camps, because I don't go them (I'm busy enough with my own, thank you 😇), but you can certainly Google "Football kicking camps in my area" and you're bound to see a few pop up!

A new UFL rule awards 4 points for a 60+ yard field goal. Here is the first one. Do you like this rule and should it be adapted anywhere else?https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWb2TP_kv5m/?igsh=MXYxdjB2cjRqbnplMw==

Those of you that live in winter climates with snow, ice, and cold...where are you finding a place to kick some footballs? Coach Jim
