This 2020 grad plays football at Park Hill H.S., competing in highly regarded 5A play in the Kansas City Metro Area. As a junior this past season, Michael was the starting Kicker on the varsity unit, and was named the Special Teams Player of the Year at the end of their campaign. With a personal best 60 yard FG attempt in practice and able to hit consistently from 45 yards out, Michael is WITHOUT A DOUBT a young man to keep a close eye on!<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Twitter:</strong></span> @hoveykickerAthletic Statistics
Standing 6'2"-189lbs as a junior, Michael combines his strong leg with his superb kicking mechanics and his unmatched work ethic to have a bright future still ahead of himself at PHHS and beyond. A perfect 19/19 in Extra Point attempts this season and able to put the ball through the end zone on kickoffs (as well as being good at onsides, pooch & squib kicks), Michael is going to make whichever college coach he winds up playing for down the line VERY happy.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Camp Invites:</strong></span><br />Kansas State - won the Accuracy Competition<br />Kohl's Kicking<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Offers (to-date):</strong></span><br />Midland State University<br />Northwest Missouri State<br />Avila University<br />Culver-Stockton College<br />Brevard College<br />Benedictine CollegeScholastic Information

He showed superior ball height, and will benefit by driving the ball (especially on kickoffs a bit more). On Page 2 is an side-by-side of Michael and Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, from our work with Butker this summer. Notice the foot position of Harrison’s foot compared to Michael’s. His heel is slightly higher and his laces face the ball more, which turns his knee downfield. Michael’s knee is facing the sideline. This is one reason why Harrison is currently the best kickoff specialists in the NFL! Michael can play college football somewhere, and I think it would benefit him to come to a showcase this December, as we’d like to see how he competes against his recruiting class. I can see him easily as a DII starter to a preferred walk-on DI kicker. His kickoffs must develop to be a scholarship Division 1 kicker- but I think he can get there if he puts in the work over the next 8 months. REALLY looking forward to seeing how he progresses between now and his senior season!" -Coach Bret</em>
