All-State this year as a Jr. Comes from a BearShark family I hear- but probably wants to play in a bowl game so they aren't an option.

We got to start recruiting better in this area.

It's hard to project high school kickers to the college level. They use the 2 inch block in hs.

Mullen isn't using a scholarship for a kicker. He should, but Mullen gonna Mullen. He'll be a stubborn ass about it. I've heard from a very good source we're after two JUCO kickers in the state. One is a lock to walk on, as he has family working in the athletic department. The other is the best JUCO K in the state and wants to come, but Mullen won't offer a scholly. Needless to say, the kid is hesitant to try to walk on when he has scholly offers elsewhere.

My best guess: Expect us to end up with a familiar last name as our K next season.

It's really not

Does he put kickoffs in the end zone?
Is he accurate on FG's
Does he cover kicks or is he just a soccer player trying to get out of the way (covering kicks shows some toughness those guys need on the next level)

Lots of ways to eval kickers

Wish we could bring in 5 kickers for a tryout. Whoever performs best gets a scholarship. Mullen has no problem giving punters scholarships. We carried 2 on full rides.

We have offered & are on a kicker very hard. Things are looking better with him also.

Josh Smith is his name. He is over at our house a lot. He and my son are really good friends. His dad was a punter at OM. Really good kid, in addition to being a good kicker. One of the hardest working kids I have ever been around.

Really Clark?

Didn't Mullen go to Tupelo yesterday or the day before?

Yeah. He was there a few days ago. Not sure who to see, though. Jett Johson is another good player at Tupelo.
