Our Wisconsin Lutheran College punter (and starting wide receiver), Drew Mears, was just selected as the Wisconsin Private Colleges Special Teams Player of the Year by the WFCA! What a well deserved honor! Drew was a real weapon for us all season long! Great directional punts, most left on the ground or fair caught. No long returns. Super pooch punts locking opponents deep in their territory. Even pulling off a great rugby fake for a critical first down in a win. Put all that on top of senior leadership, a steady head and great hands and you've got a coach's dream punter — and multi position player. Every college coach wants a guy like Drew on his team. _ _ _ _ 43 punts • 41.28 avg. • 61 long • 12 FC • 16 I20 • 4 50+ • 0 blocked

Was lucky enough to get a 40 fg attempt in some brutal weather during the second round of D3 playoffs. Some thoughts I wanted share that helped in this. 1. Changed my plant foot soccer cleat for a football cleat 2. Slowed the operation time down because they will be slower too 3. Focused on good contact getting hips through the posts

A shout out to an old friend (and rival) of mine, @Jim Gorecki who just joined KICKING SKOOL! Jim is salesman extraordinaire for Dynamic Fitness & Strength in Eau Claire, WI. He probably sold your school it's weight room equipment! 😆 Jim was also a kicker back in the OLD DAYS at UW-Stout. He's since helped me out as a camp counselor and fellow kicking mentor to high schoolers. I'm sure that Jim will have some great advice to share!
