Chris Sailer Kicking Punter Tanner Blain Commits to San Diego State

December 16, 2014 By

Congratulations to Chris Sailer Kicking 5-Star Punter Tanner Blain who committed to San Diego State University this morning.  He was offered a full scholarship last night and felt this was the perfect fit.  Tanner is a junior college punter from El Camino JC.  He works daily with Chris Sailer Kicking Staff Member Joe Houston.  He had several stellar camps with Chris Sailer Kicking this past summer and fall and recently earned a 5-Star Rating and moved into the 10 nationally ranked punters.  Tanner and SDSU was a natural fit.

Tanner will join fellow Chris Sailer Kicking Kicker Donny Hageman at SDSU this coming semester and compete during spring ball.  Donny (Kicker) and Tanner (Punter) should make a powerful team next fall for SDSU.

“Chris, thank you so much for what you have done for me and my family both on and off the field. This wouldn’t have been possible without you and Joe Houston.  My dream is becoming a reality thanks to you”. – Tanner Blain

Chris Sailer Kicking Australian Import Brad Craddock Wins the Lou Groza Award!

December 12, 2014 By

In February of 2011 Chris Sailer Kicking made its annual trip to Australia to scout international talent through OzPunt.Net  I usually scout 40 plus punters that have aspirations of playing college football in the U.S . and/or playing in the NFL.  Very few athletes in Australia want to pursue kicking in the U.S.  But in 2011, I found a rare talent.  His name was….Brad Craddock.  At the time he was beyond raw.  I started with 3 steps back and 2 steps over.  Within a few hours, I knew he could play college football.

A few months later, with some convincing, he landed a scholarship to the University of Maryland. Since then, he has gone on to break record after record, surpassing Chris Sailer Kicking’s own Obi Egekeze.  And tonight he put the cherry on top, taking home the 2014 Lou Groza Award present the the College Placekicker of the Year.  Congratulations to Brad and his family.  OzPunt also deserves great recognition.

Chris Sailer Kicking will again travel to Australia in February of 2015.  Who will be next?
