Had a great experience at the @KohlsKicking Southern Showcase in Atlanta. Back to the grind working on 45-50+ field goals this week. Getting ready for @SMUFB Specialist Camp on May 31.

I am excited to receive an invite to the 2026 Kohl's National Invitational Scholarship Camp in Tennessee! It's a great opportunity to compete against the best kickers in the nation. I am also honored that @KohlsKicking ranked me as an easy qualifier for the event, one of the very best national prospects, and a very recruitable prospect for many colleges in the future. Thanks to Coach Alex Kjellsten @YoungShelly40 for his help with my technique this year.

Great day to be outside getting practice in!  Did some field goal work on 40, 45, and 50 yarders and some kickoffs.  @kohlskicking @KohlsHighlights @joe_gillespi3 @k_crane13 @MidwayFB @RecruitMidway @coachjacobs2

Honored to have received an invite to the Kohl's Future Stars Invitational. Thankful for the opportunity to continue to develop and challenge myself against the best.

The highlight of the event was winning the field goal competition on day 2 for the 2028 class!
