All 5 of these kickers are ranked in the Top 20 Nationally by several recruiting services and all of them will be a great addition to a college program next Fall.

The 5’9 170 McEachern K/P is ranked in the Top 10 and a 5-star nationally both as a kicker and a punter.
Next level leg strength. Touchback specialist that consistently kicks 70+ range on kickoffs. Was 7 of 7 on kickoff touchbacks in McEachern’s opening playoff game last Fall.
Had a season long FG of 48 yards last year.
Has been on campus at Alabama, Miami (OH) and Georgia State among others. Elite level kicker that will be successful at the D1 Level.
Blake Williams

The 6’0 165 K is the first of two kickers from the Savannah Area in our Top 5. Williams is ranked as the #15 kicker nationally by Kohls and comes in at #2 on our list for the State.
Williams had 25 touchbacks last season and was 25 of 28 on XPs for the Wildcats. Richmond Hill did not attempt a lot of FGs last season, only 3, but Williams put up a season long try of 28 yards.
During the off season, Kohls ranked him as having one of the strongest legs at Camp during the competition.
Competed on campus last Summer at Arkansas, Arkansas St and Florida Atlantic. He won the kicking competition at Florida Atlantic and received his 1st D1 offer post camp.
Simon Zeidan
Simon Zeidan
The 6’2 175 kicker for the Harrison Hoyas comes in at #3 on our list.
Zeidan was primarily used for kickoffs in 2023 for the Hoyas. He kicked 40 of his 50 attempts into the endzone for touchbacks last Fall.
As K2 last season he connected on 4 of 6 FG attempts with a season long of 49. He will be moving into the K1 role this Fall and should get plenty of opportunities as the Hoyas utilize the FG a lot, 24 attempts last season as a team.
As I was writing this it came across that Zeidan had received his 1st D1 offer from Mississippi State after attending their recruit camp this weekend.
After moving into the K1 role this Fall, Zeidan could end up #1 on this list by seasons end.
Tyler Wallace

The 5’8 160 pound Augusta Area product has a booming leg.
Wallace was 14 of 15 on XPs last season for the Knights and connected on 4 of 7 FG attempts with a long of 47 yards. Has a strong leg with a lot of power as displayed by kicking several 60 yarders for the live hold.
Received an offer to kick for the University of North Alabama next Fall and as he develops his consistency this off season he will see many more offers come his way this Fall.
As we mentioned, the 2nd Savannah Area kicker to make our list. Ferguson kicks for State powerhouse program Benedictine and is ranked in the Top 20 Nationally by the Kohls Kicking Service.
Ferguson comes in with a lot of experience for the high scoring Cadets. He had 48 touchbacks on 83 kickoff attempts last Fall. He converted on 68 of 69 XPs and was 8 of 19 on FG attempts but connected on 4 40+ yard attempts with a long of 46. He also handles the punting duties for the Cadets.
Outstanding student off the field with a 3.81 GPA and was on campus earlier this Spring at Tulane. Has an offer from Valdosta St and is receiving attention from Georgia Southern.
With increased consistency in his FG this season I think Ferguson will be high on a lot of college programs boards this Fall.
