The Tunnel

Kickers are the biggest crapshoot in the business. First, they kick off tees in HS. Second, they have never kicked in front of more than a few thousand people, Third, they have a huge adjustment to the speed of the college game, just as anyone else. Fourth...well...they are kickers.
The two best kickers I ever saw (even noticed, actually) were Brandon Pace and Drew Jarrett. Brandon had a great career, but after Drew didn't break into the starting role at UVA right away, I think he sort of lost interest, is my best guess. He could have been great, but now isn't, for whatever reason.
Walk-on offers are the only way to go.
If a kicker does an admirable job for a full year, give him a scholly.

That is awesome news about foregoing the tee. That is always a difficult decision, as it may not be as warmly received by the HS coaching staff and his teammates, who want to put themselves in the best position to win.
The VHSL ought to ban the use of tees in this day and age. That crutch is no longer needed.

Sounds like the coaches were in contact today, moving quicker than anticipated..

@KickerSwag27 -Tech coach just called me in class and told me that they are probably going to offer me by the end of this school year! #hype

Very much in favor for giving Christopher a schollie. An excellent kicker puts a lot of points on the board and puts more pressure to hold our O outside the 40. I would love an O that can consistently get to the opponent's 40 and threaten with 3 points.

UVA Coach Chip West visted yesterday at Menchville according to his Dillon's mom. UVA is in the hunt, but his heart is in Blacksburg.

My feelings too. He has been consistently impressive and is kicking off grass. We "miss" on scholarships extended at other positions. HE is TOO much of a huge O weapon to bypass. Wisconsin is always aggressively pursuing K and I'd like to see us land this young man.
