After a great showcase @KornblueKicking I was blessed to win kicking for the class of ‘28 and receive 5 stars! I charted a 112 average on 4 balls for kickoff and went 1/1 extra point 2/2 30 2/2 40 1/2 50 off the upright 1/1 55 and missed from 60. Overall 7/9. Glad to bounce back.
I had an awesome week at the UC 55 with HKA!! It was awesome to meet and learn from @HKA_Tanalski and i’m grateful for the experience! Here’s 2 45 yarders from training and a 39 and 45 yard ball from charting.
Summer training up in Birmingham with @_Mike_McCabe with @OneOnOneKicking here is two punts from my first two sessions. Can’t wait to keep working and get better over these next 7 weeks!
Grateful for these last 6 weeks in Birmingham with @_Mike_McCabe. Learned a lot feeling a lot smoother in my swing and alot more consistent! Im locked in and more ready for this season than ever.
Proud of Jake Aller for attacking the last 6 weeks of training with purpose and seeing the improvement in his swing and overall consistency. 📈🏈

I’ve been holding this back for a while now but it’s time for my story to be out there. Back in February I was going through a mental health crisis. I talked to my family and football coaches and decided that I needed to take a medical withdrawal from school, go back home and get the treatment that I very much needed.
Once I got home I started seeing a therapist right away and was put on antidepressants. My coach told me I had two weeks to decide if I would like to return to the university in the fall semester. After two weeks passed I told him that I was starting to get on a better/ healthier path and would be good to return. Unfortunately he told me that they would not be taking me back.
So I started trying to appeal and get into the transfer portal. The NCAA asked me for countless doctors notes and therapist letters from me and many statements. I gave them everything that they asked for in a timely manner. After going back and forth for roughly 4 months I was informed that I was denied entry into the portal due to “They did not believe the case and documentation warranted relief of the Transfer Portal legislation.”
This entire experience has been extremely difficult because college athletics constantly encourage student-athletes to prioritise their mental health and seek help when they need it. That is exactly what I did. I chose to speak up instead of suffering in silence. I chose to get treatment. I chose to put my mental health first.
I am sharing my story because I know that I am not the only student athlete out there that has faced these struggles, and I hope that by speaking out more attention can be brought to the reality that mental health support should come with a sense of understanding, not punishment. Getting the help that I needed should never have resulted in this.
Thank you,
Conway Bradshaw
Wrapped up another great week with @_Mike_McCabe. The progress I’ve made over the last five weeks has been huge, feeling much stronger and much more consistent. I’m excited to finish these final two weeks strong. I’ll be sharing clips from the past five weeks throughout the week.
I had a great time at the University of Miami this Sunday!! It was awesome meeting @CoachKalter and @CoachFerras as well as the Borregales legends!! Here’s a couple balls that went on the roof🙌🙌🙌
I had a great day at the UF camp today! 5/5 from 30-50 and hit 50 and 53 yard live ops. I came first overall for high schoolers in kickoffs with a 73 yard 4.0 and first in my class for field goals. Second overall. Awesome meeting @CoachJGalante and @Coach__Hudspeth!! Go Gators!🐊
Before the offers, before the camps, before the rankings… there was a young punter with a dream. 🏈
Coach Mike McCabe has been living the specialist journey since his days at Illinois State from 1985–1988, and decades later he’s still pouring everything he has into developing the next generation of kickers, punters, and snappers. 👊
Now that same experience is helping athletes across the country reach the next level.
“The Godfather” isn’t just a nickname… it’s a legacy.
If you’re looking for someone who truly understands the journey because he lived it himself, come train with One OnOne Kicking.
After a conversation with FIU, I’m told I’m no longer on the roster.
- Multiple game-winning kicks
- 69-yard average kickoffs in high school
- Broke Cairo Santos’ single-season scoring record at my SJA
- Experience with FG/PAT, kickoffs, holding, and punting
DMs OPEN!!
Continuing to make sure that they understand that its not about the bag, its truly about the bachelor's! Degree that is!!
