2023 Kicking Newcomers

The Class of 2023 has many kickers from all around the state. The four guys I’ll mention in this article have been ranked in the top 100 by Kohls Kicking, and they will be added to the 2023 rankings! [player_tooltip player_id="318957" first="Nick" last="Collins"] - East Grand Rapids A versitile player with experience at Kicker, Defensive End, and Wide Reciever, [player_tooltip player_id="318957" first="Nick" last="Collins"] especially excels in his kicking abilities. Khols was especially impressed by his hangtime on kickoffs, and general power. He has the ability to play at the next level with a great 2022 season! [player_tooltip player_id="318955" first="Max" last="Taylor"] - St. Joseph Taylor is a consistent, constantly improving kicker according to Kohls. There was plenty more great praise from Kohls as they said "he has the leg talent required to be dominant specialist at the next level." His mechanics are sound, and he really knows what he’s doing in the Kicking and Punting game. I hope to see [player_tooltip player_id="318955" first="Max" last="Taylor"] play at the college level! <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13453729/Alexander-Stoyanovich">Alexander Stoyanovich </a>- South Lyon A confident kicker, [player_tooltip player_id="241261" first="Alexander" last="Stoyanovich"] "has the tools to compete at the next level". He could focus on a few aspects (power, consistency, mental) to really improve his game, and in general he’ll be one to watch in 2022. South Lyon was a State Championship contender this past season and they’ll need the help of Stoyanovich for them to return to glory. [player_tooltip player_id="318954" first="Tarik" last="Ahmetbasic"] - Chippewa Valley This guy has a BOOT, as he consistently is able to send kickoffs 60+ yards. Chippewa Valley is a great program with massive talent, and I can see Ahmetbasic play a huge role in this coming season. I’ve watched it a fair amount in the palyoffs; special teams can win you games. Ahmetbasic has great highlights and obvious talent. Sure next-level potential.
