<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='681234' first='Rhett' last='Thompson'] || K || 5'8 || 150 || Syracuse High School || 2024</strong><br>No kicker in the state has scored more points than Thompson. The Titans kicker has drilled four field goals, all from over 20 yards, and even a 42-yarder. He's made seven extra points and constantly blasts the ball out of the end zone on kickoffs. Thompson is clutch and can knock down field goals from any length and angle on the field. Syracuse is 2-0 to start the year and they will have an edge over some of the top teams in the state because of Thompson's leg.</p>

<p><strong>Adam Connors || K || 5'8 || 150 || Lone Peak High School || 2024</strong><br>Connors made one of the best special teams plays in week one of the high school football season when he drilled a 47-yard field goal against Bingham. The Knights kicker showed he had ice in his veins, with the whole state watching the first Thursday game of the year. He's also made a 21-yarder and seven extra points. The Lone Peak offense has been highly productive two weeks into the season, and Conner's ability to hit long field goals makes them even more potent.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1228081' first='Colby' last='Frokjer'] || K || 6'2 || 170 || 2025 || Roy High School </strong><br>Frokjer has shined in each of the first two weeks of the high school season but in two very different ways. His booming punts in week one against American Fork helped the Royals defense start in favorable positions. He also made both of his extra points in the week one loss but got to show off his leg in week two when he made two field goals from over 45 yards out to help Roy beat Fremont.</p>

<p><strong>David Dellenbach || K || 6'2 || Park City High School || 2024</strong><br>Dellenbach still owns the longest field goal of the high school football season two weeks in. He made one from a whopping 58 yards right before the half against Wasatch. His nearly limitless range makes the Miners offense a threat to score as soon as they cross the 50. Dellenbach has also been money when it comes to extra points, where he has drilled 10 through the first two games. Park City is capable of winning 4A, and they no doubt feel good about their kicker if it comes down to it.</p>
