<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we will be looking at some kickers that are new to the rankings and who are looking for opportunities at the next level. These are the names that need to be on programs radar moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596033"],"_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-67991c4fa7aab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baruch is a punter that was able to be automatic as a kicker going a perfect 6-6 on PATs for the season and went 3-4 on FGs with a long of 37 yards. On punts he was averaging an impressive 45.4 yards per punt with a long of 65. Although he only had 3 punts within the 20 on 31 punts, he was able to flip the field with his punts. Baruch is a top kicker that can be a difference maker in the kicking game. He is still uncommitted and is a player looking for an opportunity at the next level that needs to be on programs radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1540880"],"_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-67991c4fa7b0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dell is one of the top uncommitted kickers still around and is a player that needs to be on college coaches radar. He has a strong leg and was able to be consistent on kickoff with a 74% touchback rate on 77 kickoffs. On PATs he was 97% on 88 attempts being almost automatic. He does need some work on FGs but only got 2 chances going 50%. He is a kicker that needs attention, being able to be consistent and reliable when you need him the most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596057"],"_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-67991c4fa7b50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bravopacker is a punter/defensive back that can be a game changer when used correctly. He is athletic and can be a gadget player on fake punts to keep the chains moving. On 36 punts he is averaging 37.4 yards, with a long of 50 yards and 5 punts within the 20. Bravopacker also can help on kickoffs as well, being able to get enough air under the ball to let the coverage team get down and pin teams deep in their own territory. He is a player that can help a D2/D3 program and be someone who can flip the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596533"],"_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-67991c4fa7b8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finch is a punter that had an impact in the kicking game for his team this season. He was nearly perfect on PATs going 22/24 on the season and 1/2 on FGs. As a punter he had 17 punts with an average of 48.6 yards and was able to have 7 punts within the 20. He had a combination of a strong leg and accuracy that was able to pin his opponent and flip the field for his team. He has some D3 offers and will be a specialist that will be able to make an immediate impact for whatever team he signs with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596380"],"_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-67991c4fa7bcd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Metzger is a kicker that has a strong leg and was able to put that on full display having 51 touchbacks on 69 kickoffs. As a punter he had an average of 35.4 yards on 49 punts and was able to pin the other team within the 20 13 times. On PATs he was accurate being 92% going 38 of 41. He does need to improve on his FGs as he was 11 for 18 with a long of 42 yards but I have all the faith that he will be able to close that gap quickly at the next level. He is uncommitted but has some D2 offers and will be looking to make an impact at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
