<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the game of football, there may not be a more underrated and disrespected position group than the specialists. That is, until you need them! In this article I will be highlighting some of the specialists that I believe to be those reliable guys you need to snap, punt and kick effectively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1302902"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66acce48d8902"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Colton has been making his rounds all spring and summer to different camps to put himself on the radar of colleges. At one particular camp, I watched him garner about 5 offers in the span of a half hour. He is consistent, his motion is pure, and whether it's short field goal snaps or long punt snaps, Colton puts it on target with some zip on the ball you don't typically see from a high school LS. With a lot of offers in his pocket, and more I'm sure to come, this is one of the elite specialists in our state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1226339"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66acce48d8958"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chase suffered an injury this summer, sidelining him for at least the first half of the season. That being said, when he comes back, he will be must watch. Chase has been nothing but consistent in any conditions he faces. He holds multiple offers right now, and I think when he comes back, he will likely collect a few more. Chase is coming back stronger than ever! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["601063"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66acce48d899b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On a powerhouse team like Belleville, the kicker isn't really given a ton of the spotlight most of the time, but when you are all over the record book like Brayden is, the spotlight is inevitable! If you take a look at the MHSAA records, you'll see him all over it, and it's thanks to his hard work and amazing ability. He is accurate, he kicks with the same motion every time and has a driving leg that is clearly special. The ball pops off his foot better than just about anyone I have ever seen kick at the high school level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["926360"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66acce48d89db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Michigan State commit has done more than enough to prove to us that he is absolutely one of the best snappers in the whole country. His snaps have incredible zip, they're accurate and consistent and he finishes through. It is really fun to watch his clips online and see just how talented he is. MSU has always put huge value on special teams, and they bolster that position in a big way getting Jack in the building. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899643"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66acce48d8a1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caden is a 3 sport athlete who has become as well rounded of a specialist as you'll see. From FG, to kickoff to punting, this dude can drive the ball like few can. Holding a couple of D1 offers, I will be paying close attention to what path he chooses. Whatever he decides, that program is getting one of the best specialists on the market without question! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

In the game of football, there may not be a more underrated and disrespected position group than the specialists. That is, until you need them! In this article I will be highlighting some of the specialists that I believe to be those reliable guys you need to snap, punt and kick effectively.
