Meeks Steps Up Bigtime to Win In Dallas!

December 5, 2016 By

Chris Sailer Kicking hosted the largest camp of the fall to date, and it just might have also been the most talented, this past weekend in Dallas, TX.  Specialists from over 10 states were in attendance to learn and compete.  The camp could have been won by a dozen or so athletes, but only one could come out on top.  Take a look at the results.

Overall Camp Champion:
Jacob Meeks (2018, TX) – The longtime Chris Sailer Kicking student had his best performance ever.  He won a major field goal competition by hitting on 7-7 field goals with a long of 57.  His kickoffs were also strong.  He averaged over 65 yards with 3.7+ hang time.  Jacob is coming into his own at the right time.  He has a bright college future with continued hard work.

Field Goal Champion:
Matthew Jaeger (2018, MN) – Matthew is another longtime Chris Sailer Kicking student who is beginning to dominate camps.  He won a major field goal competition by going 8-8 and connecting on back to back 58 yard field goals.  He is smooth and accurate.  His kickoffs are also nearing the top of his class.  Matthew is gong to be a fine college player.

Kickoff Champion:
Liam Jones (2017, OK) – Liam was the most impressive all around specialist on the day.  He connected on over 90% of his field goals and dominated mentally.  He won the kickoff competition by hitting a few balls through the uprights. His best ball on the day was 75 yards with 4.13 hang time.  The Kansas commit is 100% ready for the next level.

Punt Champion:
Jack Geiger (2017, CA) – Jack was by far the best punter on the day.  The Chris Sailer Kicking Event Elite specialist dominated in all punt competitions.  He averaged 40+ yards with 4.3+ hang time.  He was consistent and also showed the ability to hit a big ball.  His best ball on the day traveled 55 yards with 4.88 hang time.  Jack is a top national punting prospect.

Top 2017 Prospects:
Josh Grant (2017, TX) – Josh continues to prove himself time and time again.  He has 55+ yard range on field goals off the ground and gets excellent height on his ball.  He also has a D1 kickoff leg.  Josh is a competitor that does very well under pressure.  He has all the tools to excel at the D1 level.  Look for Josh to be one of the next national prospects to be offered a D1 Scholarship.

Blake Mazza (2017, TX) – Blake is a tremendous kicker.  He has one of the strongest legs in his class and kicks with great accuracy.  His field goals and kickoffs are both D1 ready.  Blake is also a great competitor that does a nice job under pressure.  He is going to make a fine addition to any college football program.

Cole Talley (2018, TX) – Cole has perhaps the strongest leg in his class. He is an incredible athlete with endless talent.  He shows he can hit a big ball off the ground at times.  His kickoffs are elite.  With hard work, he will be a special D1 player.

Cameron Dicker (2018, TX) – Cameron is another special prospect in the class of 2018.  He has an exceptional leg and shows great overall potential.  His field goals are strong and accurate.  He is near the top of his class of kickoffs.  He also shows he is a very capable punter.
