    For a HS kicker, he's got a great swing. Tons of potential.

    This got me wondering about the longest field goals in HS. The national record is 68 yards by a kid in Nevada in 1985, The Texas record is 67 by Russell Cowsert of Dallas Christian in 1987. There have been 27 FG's over 60 yards, 5 of them on free kicks after fair catches.

    59 yard field goal? Wow! If that translates to college he’ll be just fine

    Interesting that the Kohl's kicking camps had him rated higher as a punter than kicker

    If the kid can punt and kick it would save a spot on the travel team.
