Chris Sailer Kicking – NC & GA Fall Camp Recap

The Chris Sailer Kicking Fall Camp Tour continued with stops in Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA this past weekend.  Well over 200 specialists from across the nation were in attendance to learn from and compete with the best.  Cold temperatures and rain set the stage for intense competition.  Take a look at the results.

Charlotte, NC
Overall Camp Champion – Seth Kujawski (2016 NC)
Seth had an extremely impressive camp from start to finish. The combo player dominated all 3 skills.  Field goals and kickoffs are both D1 quality and his punting looks to be his best skill.  On this day he was the punt champion and clear and away the top punting prospect.  He averaged well over 40 yards and consistently hit 4.5 plus hang time punts.

Field Goal Champion – Brennan Lambert (2016 NC)
Brennan is a solid kicking prospect that stepped up big time on this day.  He was great on field goals all day kicking showing excellent consistency.  He was perfect in competition and hit from as far as 53 yards out.  Look for Brennan to show very well in Las Vegas and also impress college coaches this summer.

Field Goal Champion – Austin Kent (2016 NC)
Austin is fantastic kicker.  He is a great looking athlete that shows huge range off the ground.  The lefty hit several field goals from beyond 50 yards to win a major competition.  Austin has all the tools to take his game to the D1 college level.

Kickoff Champion – Tyler Bass (2015 SC)
Tyler was perhaps the most talented all around player at the camp.  He has one of the strongest legs in the nation and shows well in all three skills. His field goals are great off the ground, kickoffs are D1 ready and also punts well.  Tyler is a D1 prospect without a doubt.

College coaches will soon take notice of this talented player.
