That's what happens when you put @Ellis Wangelin into your group! I love E's positivity and his genuine desire to help kids. He has already offered his monthly prize to go to @Nash Rogness, who is a kicker, but perhaps should look into being a strong safety? 😁 Which means @Jim Gorecki, Ellis looked past you to give away his hardware. Hmm, "them's fightin' words." Might have to be a Rumble at Regis this week! Falcons vs. Blue Devils! I know who I'm rooting for. 🤣

@Ellis Wangelin was our top point getter for the month of APRIL, rallying with some great commentary, posting and positive vibes across our growing community! Way to go, E!!!! What does he win? I'm sending "#13" a Mike Farley's Kickers Camp 2026 mini helmet so that he can place it on his trophy shelf and be reminded to continue setting a great example for all of our K-SKOOL members! 🤩 _ _ _ Anyone can win something new each and every month! How about you? All you have to do is contribute, share and LIKE... and while you're at it, LEARN, HAVE FUN & MAKE A FRIEND.

Big shout out to all who participated with posts, comments, LIKES and shares in our KICKING SKOOL! As you can see from the Leaderboard, we had over 110 points earned throughout the month! Most of any month since K-SKOOL started. Give yourselves a hand 🖐️! Instead of awarding an individual prize to @Ellis Wangelin our top point getter, (Ellis already has more than his fair share of Kickerscamp swag 🤪) ...I'm awarding a prize to the entire community... A CUSTOM 2026 NFL KICKERS POSTER (see attached). If you want a higher res file to print out, just DM me and I can send it to you. I took a little time, consulted ESPN and put together the first of it's kind, the entire NFL kicking line-up for all 32 teams. You'll see a face matched with their age, years experience, height and weight. This is as of today, but given the off season, you can bet there will be some different faces come this Fall! Lots of guys ask me, what's the average size of an NFL kicker. I usually say, "It's me... or it least it was me 40 years ago!" 🤣 AVERAGES: An average NFL kicker is typically about 6'1" tall, weighs 200 lbs, and at his best in his late from 25 to 30. For most college kickers, they'll never actually play in an NFL regular season game, but for those incredible few that make the roster, the average NFL career is just 3.3 years. ROOKIES: Lenny Krieg (NYJ) and Ryan Fitzgerald (CAR) are slated to start in 2026. LONGEST CAREER: Nick Folk (ATL) is still kicking 19 years in the league! YOUNGEST: Cam Little (JAC) is just 22 years old. OLDEST: Nick Folk (ATL) is 41. TALLEST: Harrison Butker (KC) & Charlie Smyth (NO) are 6'4 HEAVIEST: Matt Gay (NV) is 232 lbs. SHORTEST: Cairo Santos (CHI) is only 5/8. LIGHTEST: Jake Elliott (PHI) is just 167 lbs. One of the toughest professions on the planet... there are only 32 jobs in the world as an NFL kicker. I know, I was Mr. 39. 😭

Just thought I'd sing the praises of the University of Wisconsin - River Falls, who just defeated the defending champion North Central Cardinals 24-14 in Canton, Ohio (Pro Football Hall of Fame Stadium) on a beautifully cold Sunday night... in January! It what might be called the last true bastion of amateur athletics, and it doesn't get much better than this. Two teams of "non-scholarship" athletes who give it there all for the love of the game. Not NIL, not prestige, not a ticket to the pros, but because they all love the game of football and simply want to compete against the very best, no matter the conditions. WANT TO LEARN HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY IN COLLEGE? DM me. WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqpNN9GcJ4I

All of our members are better because of it. ...and what does Jim win? This month Jim gets a say in which color our hats will be at Mike Farley's Kickers Camp this summer (and soon available to any K-Skool members, too) — only Jim gets a FREE cap for his winning posts and comments! 😅 Get on the February Leaderboard right now!!!
