2013 Chris Sailer Kicking TX Nike Spring Camp Recap
Chris Sailer Kicking made its second stop on the Nike Spring Camp Tour in Dallas, TX this past weekend. Every time we head to Texas, I expect to see as much, if not more talent than anywhere in the country. As always, specialists traveled in from all over the nation to compete at the highest level. Take a look at the champions and overall standouts.
Camp Champion
Hunter Morrow (2014 TX): Hunter put on a dominating performance on this day. He won two of the four major competitions and continued to take care of business in the Finals Round. He hit multiple 50 plus yard field goals off the ground under intense pressure. He also won the kickoff competition by hitting a wind aided 83 yard kickoff. Hunter is proving time and time again that he is worthy of a D1 College Scholarship Offer.
Field Goal Champion
Austin McGehee (2014 AR): Austin had an impressive all around day. His field goals, kickoffs and punts were all solid. He won the field goal competition by hitting a 55 yard field goal off the ground. Austin is proving he is a top player in his class.
Punt Champion
Manuel Meza (2014 JC CA): Meza was once again the best punter at the camp. Coming off his punt championship last weekend in Los Angeles, he was easily able to win back to back. Manuel consistently hits 45 plus yard punts, with 4.5 plus second hang times. He will be one of the very best Junior College Punters in the nation next year without a doubt.
2014 Standouts
Mick Ellis (TX): Mick is simply an outstanding kicker. The 2-Time Chris Sailer “TOP 12” Member is always on his game. He is one of the best pure field goal kickers off the ground. Mick connected from 60 yards on this day. Kickoffs were also big as he was able to knock a wind aided kick through the uprights from the 35 yard line. Mick is without a doubt a scholarship level player.
Cameron Gamble (TX): Cameron is as talented as any kicker in the nation. He has a huge leg and hits a big time ball. Cameron always competes at the highest level. On this day he was by far the most impressive on kickoffs, hitting a wind aided 85 yard, 3.85 second kick.
Yanni Routsas (TX): Yanni has all the tools to be one of the very best. A big, tall, strong athlete that shows great potential both as a kicker and punter. Look for Yanni to have a big spring and summer impressing college coaches nation wide.
Other 2014 Future Stars: Eric Piccione, Grant Goebel and Kyle Pfau.
2015 Standouts
Andrew Galitz: Andrew had a coming out party in Dallas. He was solid on field goals, kickoffs and punts. He has a bright future with continued hard work.
Connor Crow: Crow had one of the strongest overall legs at the camp. The young kicker showed outstanding potential on field goals and kickoffs. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Connor.
Other 2015 Future Stars: Adam LaManque, Brooks Ralph, Collin Stack, Jon Coppens, Joshua Williams, Luke Beasley, and Ryan Rodriguez.
Chris Sailer Kicking will next visit Chicago IL, Charlotte NC, Atlanta GA and Los Angeles CA before wrapping Spring up with the 11th Annual National Kicking Spring Event in Las Vegas May 4-5. For more stats, rankings, and information visit www.ChrisSailerKicking.com
