April 30, 2018 By

The 2018 Chris Sailer Kicking Spring Camp Tour is nearing its end. One of the final stops prior to Vegas XXXII was made in Dallas, TX on Sunday April 29. This location has been one of the most talented for many years now. Three TOP 12 camp invitees were in attendance and several others will be in contention come May 12-13 in Las Vegas. There was a fantastic blend of experienced CSK veterans and impressive newcomers. All in all, once again well over 100 specialists were in attendance ready to learn and compete. Take a look at the results.

Reed Kieny, Noah Rauschenberg, Nick Hill

Overall Camp Champion – Noah Rauschenberg (2019, OK)
Noah stepped up with a dominating performance in Dallas. The Chris Sailer Kicking veteran was on fire in all areas of his game from start to finish. On this day he won 2 of the 4 major competitions. He went 6-6 on field goal with a long of 60 yards to win the first field goal competition. He won the kickoff competition by averaging over 70 yards with 3.8+ hang time. His best ball measured 82 yards with 3.9 hang time (wind aided). He was also a punt finalist. Noah didn’t miss a kick in the finals round proving to all that he is a major D1 prospect.

Field Goal Champion – Reed Kieny (2020, TX)
Reed had his best camp yet with Chris Sailer Kicking. He continues to get stronger and stronger and is growing in confidence with each camp he attends. He won the second major field goal competition by hitting 6 consecutive field goals with a long of 57 yards. Reed also impressed on kickoffs. He is on his way to a bright college future with continued hard work. Look for Reed to compete with the best in his class the next few years.

Punt Champion – Nick Hill (2020, CA)
Nick is a talented combo (K/P) prospect. He is a great looking athlete with a live leg. He focused on punting at this particular camp and it paid off. He averaged near 40 yards with 4.0+ hang time. Nick also showed the ability to hit 45+ yard punts with 4.4+ hang time. He won the major punting competition by staying consistent and outlasting a talented field. Nick has the potential to one day compete as both a kicker and punter at the college level.

Top 2018 Prospect – Alex Stadhaus (2018, TX)
The recent USC commit was stellar once again. Coming off a huge 2018 fall with Chris Sailer Kicking, he was dominant again in Dallas. He excels most on kickoffs where he averages 70+ yards with 4.0+ hang time. He also has the tools to compete at the next level on field goal. Alex is a hard work with a great head on his shoulders with a bright college future.

Top Newcomer – Joseph McFadden (2021, TX)
Joseph stood out immediately. He has a huge leg for his age and was competing with rising seniors with ease. He already hits a college level ball on field goal off the ground. Joseph also shows he can hit a big time kickoff. This is a name you will be hearing for years to come. I am excited to see what his future holds with Chris Sailer Kicking. He has the tools to be special.

So You Didn’t Make TOP 12, What Now?

January 31, 2018 By

For the past few weeks, you have been waiting anxiously to see if you were going to be selected to the TOP 12 Camp.  When the first 20 selections were announced, 20 kickers / punters were ecstatic.  Hundreds of others were upset, frustrated, angry, etc…. rightfully so.  As athletes and competitors the desire to succeed should run deep.

Couple ways to look at it….

You can be upset with me for not selecting you. You can be upset with yourself for not performing when it counted. You can even find a way to blame others, but, it is ultimately on you. The only thing you can control is how hard and smart you work. Everyone in Vegas is competing for the same spots. Don’t let anybody outwork you and you will see different results.

You need to use this as motivation to make sure you perform better. This is all up to you. The choice is yours.

If you are a Kicker / Punter that strives to be the best, you want to be at that TOP 12 camp this summer. Any single athlete that has been there (scholarship Kickers / Punters, All-Americans, NFL players) will tell you it is, by far, the best camp they have ever been to in their life. What you need to do is get back on the horse. Work smarter and harder. Your opportunity is waiting for you in Las Vegas. VEGAS XXXII

At Vegas XXXII, I will choose 20 additional TOP 12 Camp Invitees.  They will join the first 20 selected at the Invite Only TOP 12 Camp this summer.   This is a true invite only camp. I do NOT just hand out invites to get people to come to it. That would give me no credibility. I choose the best because they are the best. They will represent the TOP 12 and Chris Sailer Kicking forever.

Are you one of them? Time to decide. Prove to me, and the rest of the world, that you belong.

Or don’t. THE CHOICE IS YOURS…..

 

Who will make it in 2018?

2017 OH Fall Camp Recap – Parker Grothaus Comes Up Big!

December 19, 2017 By

The camp featured a fantastic indoor facility, many talented kickers/punters, and CSK’s best staff (Sailer, Obi, Aaron Perez, Chris Nendick, Drew Basil & Andrew Gantz). The camp gave us a glimpse of what to expect at Vegas XXXI. The battle to earn TOP 12 honors this year should be phenomenal. Take a look at the results.

2017 OH Fall Camp – Chris Sailer Kicking

Overall Camp Champion
Parker Grothaus (TR, ): Parker was an absolute standout from the minute the camp kicked off. The 2017 high school grad and current transfer from Incarnate Word is a big time kicking prospect. He has a huge leg and proved that he is not doubt a D1 prospect. He won the kickoff competition by hitting several balls through the uprights with 4.0+ hang time. He also hits a pure ball off the ground on field goal and has 60+ yard range. Parker is an elite transfer prospect that is going to be a fantastic addition for any college football program.

Field Goal Champion
Jacob Moraschinelli (2020, ): Jacob had an impressive performance at his first Chris Sailer Kicking camp. He has a big time leg for his age and shows outstanding future college potential.

He beat out a very talented field of punters by averaging 40+ yards, with 4.4+ hang time. Joey punts with nice technique and is one of the most consistent 2019 prospects in the nation.
