What an incredible 4 days in Los Angeles, CA with Roman Catholic High School!

We had the opportunity to play the preseason #1 team in the country, St. John Bosco, in one of the biggest high school football environments in the country.

I was able to get some valuable special teams reps and made the most of my opportunities:

💥 2 Touchback Kickoffs
🎯 Directional Kickoff — pinning the returner between the hash marks and numbers
🏈

You have to listen to the video from the announcers from the Roman vs St John Bosco game, funny.
Kick was from the 35 yard line and went out of the end zone, Touchback!

Are you guys looking to recruit a kicker/punter the 2027 Class?

[Matthew J Swanson @jswanson524]

2 nice traditional punts at Lower Moreland High School.

Both were struck from the 50-yards out carried through the goal posts, and continued another 10–15 yards.

Approximately 55–60 yards in the air.

What a way to end a long Sunday of training at Jenkintown High School.

Worked on short-range field goals, traditional punts, rugby punts, coffin punts, and kickoffs. To finish the session, I took one shot from 50 yards…

Drilled it. 💥🏈
