Sean West - Badger Punter · KICKERSCAMP: Kicking Skool

Sean West - Badger Punter

Sean came to my kicking camp in 2022 and 2023 when he played K & P (and also got playing time at QB and WR) at Homestead High School in Mequon, WI. That's a school of about 1,200 kids with a long tradition of excellence. Sean's a real athlete — played la crosse, too.

Sean took lessons from me on his punting and kicking and eventually got a preferred walk-on OFFER from the University of Wisconsin.

He spent his first year without an opportunity to play in a game. Just training and getting better while practicing with the team. In his second year, this past Fall, he was the back-up punter to start the season and the #3 kicker. Then, on October 18th (the 7th game of the season), Sean's number was called to be the starting punter against the #1 ranked team in the country, Ohio State — 73,000 fans at Camp Randall. Pressure? You think? 😅

And then, not only does he have a great game punting (despite a thumping loss), he runs a fake punt... not a coach called fake punt — from his end zone — and picks up the first down! Thank goodness! I suspect his punting days might have been taken from him if he didn't make it. 😳 But Sean is a very good athlete and made a tremendous play.

• Listen to his post game interview.

• Watch his fake punt!

• Watch & listen to his 2022 camp evaluation

• Watch & listen to his 2023 camp evaluation

You may be right where Sean was right now. Are you willing to put in the work that Sean did?

Sean's a great guy and will be seeking all three specialist positions this upcoming season (place kicker, kick off specialist & punter)!

Think he can do it?
