NFL teams usually only carry one kicker and one punter, and their careers can last eons. So there are very, very few openings for college kickers or punters in any given year, and therefore not much chance of even a "5* kicker" making it to the next level. (The fact that our last two guys made it is beyond remarkable.) So ALL recruiting rankings, regardless of the position, base it on their NFL viability? Or are we just talking kickers? I saw the starting 22 players for the SB teams this past game, and I was amazed how many of the starters were no stars and a lot of 3 stars, and very few 5 stars.

All players. And I didn't attest to their accuracy. But players ranked 4*s and 5*s make it to the NFL at a far higher clip than players ranked lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin 3,305 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Michael Sadler Foundation Michael Sadler's extraordinary life was abruptly halted when he died in a tragic car accident in Wisconsin on July 23, 2016. At the time, he was volunteering at a kicking camp to mentor young players. His commitment to helping others, contributing to community and embracing his love of family, friends, and society was constant. He lived his life with impeccable character. Only after his death did we realize the tens of thousands of lives he affected because of his integrity and the way he chose to live life. Michael earned unparalleled recognition in academics and athletics. At MSU he earned a bachelor's degree in Engineering and a master's degree in Public Policy. He was an All-American as well as the first-ever, four-time Academic All American in MSU history. Michael was a member of the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Class of 2014 and a William V. Campbell trophy finalist. He was awarded the Big Ten Conference Medal of Honor in 2014 for outstanding athletic and academic achievement. Awards that Mike received are now being renamed in his honor. Michael was proud to be a Spartan and was excited to be entering Stanford Law School. Edited September 1, 2021 by Paladin 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people I have heard claims it makes a difference in length and takes a while to get used to kicking closer to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number 1 rated place kicker in the country is a 3 star. That sooo does not make sense when it comes to winning football games. Same with punters. A great punter turns the field. around. So, I may be wrong but I assume Alex will be the placekicker and we have someone else punt, even though he can punt really well. I've seen too often when a kickers leg gets tired towards the end of the year and doing both may cause this to happen. With the new offense, punter fatigue is no longer a problem😁 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
