Most TOTAL POINTS in a MONTH!
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. 😭

@Ellis Wangelin @Mike Farley there are always a couple, though honestly I’m not aware of many this year who stand out beyond others. No sure bets. The kid from Florida was in the same FG group as @Ryan Schroeder at the national Kohl’s camp in 2020. He was obviously exceptional for his age then too. But I think he like most others will have to grind through a couple of years and a few cuts before he sticks. My can’t-miss K from 2 years ago, Joshua Karty, was cut by the Rams and now is one of two guys with the Cardinals. Would love to see him get a shot in GB!
First 4-point field goal
A new UFL rule awards 4 points for a 60+ yard field goal. Here is the first one. Do you like this rule and should it be adapted anywhere else?https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWb2TP_kv5m/?igsh=MXYxdjB2cjRqbnplMw==

@Mike Farley there’s a good use of AI!

@Nash Rogness Could even see a case where a coach chooses not to try to advance to have the 4-point try, rather than work toward a TD still 40+ yards away.
Progress
Today I was looking back at some old film from October…and it’s crazy to me to think how far I have come. The first video that is attached was my last game of the season, looking back at it I thought my height was good, but it was just average, and the second video was me kicking just a few days ago with some of the pieces advice I’ve gotten from some of you. I am really exited to see what this summer brings with my progress and I hope to get even better from here!

@Mike Farley @Aiden Stoffel the images of the March kick shows a more confident and aggressive approach, which is likely to lead to more height and distance. You see a good lean back, which is a result of that approach. Seeing how close your kicking and plant legs are as you swing through is good; you lose distance when that gap is big. Wondering out loud if you need more live ops work to get that confidence to translate. Sometimes it’s harder if you don’t trust the other elements, but you have to learn.
The NFL should thank Brandon Aubrey...
and Chad Ryland can curse him. The "New Dynamic Kick Off", put in last year by the NFL was a complete dud, until Aubrey cracked the code on how to hit an NFL kick-off. No longer do you desire a 75+ yard hit out of the end zone, because the ball would come out to the 30 yard line (instead of the 20) and no time off the clock. BUT, you also don't want to hit short of the "landing zone" (between the 20 and goalline), because your opponent gets the ball at the 40 yard line without a second off the clock. Most kickers have simply gone to hitting a puff ball somewhere down to the goal line. Most returners want to return and taking a touchback in the end zone, only brings the ball out to the 20. So they run it out — and the league is happy because KOR rates have skyrocketed. The play IS MORE DYNAMIC now. However, Aubrey took a little inspiration from Major League Baseball and started hitting knuckleballs, sliders, change-ups and screwballs. The effect is a weaponized kick-off perfect for the new rule book. Why? Because moving up your tacklers to the opponents 40 yard line means any high hang time kick off is easy to catch and there's no merit in, because your tacklers can't start the play until the returner touches the ball — who's likely to get the ball back out to your 30 yard line... maybe even break one for a big score. But having to field a line-drive bouncing ball inside the landing zone forces the return man into action with more time for your defenders to make a tackle on him. It's brilliant... IF YOU CAN DO IT. Aubrey has mastered this skill and it shows*. Chad Ryland, of the Cardinals, has not mastered it just yet, and hit, to my knowledge, the first ever game losing kick off in the NFL. *There is one rather embarrassing incident that recently happened when Aubrey botched one of his "patented" kicks and nailed a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader in the noggin. Thankfully, in the back of the head — and she was a trooper about it. Hope Aubrey signed the ball for her and picked up her Tylenol tab. 🤣

You can also check out a guy on Instagram named Owen Pochman. He had a cup of coffee in the NFL over 20 years ago. He now posts videos of himself hitting these wicked knuckleballs. Would be a wildly effective kickoff at any level!
I'M BACK!
New year, new form. Kicks from 20M, 20M, 32M, 36RM, 40LM, 40LM, 40LM! Feedback is very much appreciated!
I'M BACK!

From what I remember from before I think you’ve really improved. More fluid and powerful. Never like to override anything Coach Farley would say, but now that the season has started I wouldn’t do too much to your form. Let that be for spring. Just get yourself game-ready; work situationally and try to taper off your kicks leading up to game day. Good luck!
