Former National Punting Leader from Univ. Arizona who played Pre Season with Cinn. Bengals and New England Patriots video clips with Personal Coach Paul Assad and PCF Staff Rod Williams, former NY Giants Punter in Mobile, AL (Cold Weather) shows improved footwork and set up and leg action movement. Turns ball slightly more then desired on this punt.

You can see the player is balanced and set and gets more pop on the ball.


MID WAY INSTRUCTION VIDEO BEFORE SAMPLE:
THIS PUNT SHOWS THE MOVING OR LACK OF GETTTING SET TO PUNT AND SOURCE OF INCONSISTENCY THAT WE REWORKED SO NOW THE PLAYER HAS MORE COMPACT FOOTWORK, SET UP CONTROL AT THE POINT OF BALANCE (PLANT FOOT) AND MORE CONTROL OF THE UPPER LEG SO HE CAN UPSWRING WITH MORE SPEED AND DELIBERATE CONTROL.

Scouting (Staff):
Pro College Football Player Development and Scouting comments: Recently has begun training with Paul Assad. Adjustments to footwork and set up more stationary. Was thrusting foward as he was punting and also releasing the ball very early. Seemed strong but inconsistent but has been working on shorter footwork with smaller steps, point of balance set up before making leg action movement and also ball set placement to the outside with less downward in of the ball nose angle as well using his kicking leg more then the thrusting his body and moving around so much. Seems more consistent and controlled. Very strong. Once I started working with him it was obvious why he was rated so highly coming out of colleg as the no. 1 prospect but the injury hindered his progress in week 7 of his senior year. Should be a legitimate camp and 53 man prospect punter this season.
