Walk-Ons Kicking Great

Many of you will come to a point in your kicking career where you may have to decide whether to accept a scholarship or financial aid at a small school, or try to walk-on and earn your scholarship at a bigger school by winning the starting job. There is no uniform advice that will work for everyone. Your decision will have to be based on your financial situation, your kicking abilities and potential, and your personal preference.

Following The Kicking Coach Alumni took a chance at walking on, won the starting jobs, and are kicking great this year.

Dan Conroy, Michigan State University. Perfect on the year on FG attempts.
Derek Dimke, Illinois. So far 13 for 13 on FG attempts. Kickoffs are great.
Mike Meyer, Iowa. Took over the kicking duties over a scholarship kicker. He is a true freshman this year.
Cole Wagner, Connecticut, beat out a scholarship punter and is starting this year as a redshirt freshman.

Congrats on your successes so far,

Filip Filipovic
