While we know that what you do in games will always give you plenty of exposure and bring recognition, if you are a special teams performer, it becomes tougher to attract attention.

Because kickers, punters and long snappers have a short window to prove what they can do in pressure situations, games are no longer enough to showcase their talents to college coaches.

What has happened over the past decade are different companies are hosting showcases that give these special teams hopefuls the exposure needed.

These events are designed to produce accuracy and give these student/athletes a chance to perform.

Today, we bring you a few of the kicking prospects who have jumped on the radar with some off-season performances – already.

2028 – Kyle Aller, K, 5’10, 165, Hollywood McArthur – 4.5 GPA. Rated as one of the top kickers in the state of Florida, heading into the off-season. Has a chance to be very special with a strong leg. Very accurate leg that helped the Mustangs to one of their best seasons in decades.

2028 – Hudson Eisenbud, K/P, Miami Gulliver Prep – 3.8 GPA. Another young and emerging kicking specialist who has already earned a national ranking – showcasing a strong and accurate leg. This is definitely someone you will be hearing plenty from. Follows in a long line of kickers that the Raiders have produced over the years. Keep your eye on his progress as he gets more film.

2027 – Christopher Kern, P, 6’2, 165, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas. After suffering a hairline fracture in his back halfway through the season, this quality talent has recovered, and while he is not like his older brother (Michael, University of Texas), who is one of the best ever at the school, he is expected to have a big year for the seven-time defending state champion Raiders. In addition to punting, he will compete for the kickoff duties as well.

2028 – Ethan Kleiman, K/P, 5’8, 145, Deerfield Beach. One of the rising juniors who has already jumped on the radar screen nationally at the Chris Sailer’s Vegas 47 Camp, where he performed well with a 68-yard, 3.63 second hang time and a 65-yard, 3.6 second hang time on kickoffs.

2028 - Ilan Levkovitz, P/K, 5’11, 152, Davie Nova – 4.1 GPA. One of the emerging kickers in south Florida. Someone who is coming off a productive showcase in early January where he performed with a strained quad. Strong on kickoffs and accurate on his field goals.

2027 – Alec Martinez-Bolivar, PK, 5’10, 165, Miami Ransom Everglades – 3.79 GPA. Another elite kicking prospect who impressed enough during showcases that he earned a high rating as a kicker. With so many emerging special teams prospects in the two counties, here is another who is ready for his final season at the high school level. Also, keep an eye on his progress during the off-season as well.

2027 – Cole Rodriguez, PKL, 5’10, 165, Miami Central – 3.85 GPA. A four-year varsity performer who has been regarded as one of the elite combo kickers in Florida. Not only was he an outstanding kicker but also showed why a college program will be fortunate to have him as a punter. Also gets it done in the classroom.

2027 – Mason Vogt, K/P, 5’7, 155, Miami Christopher Columbus. Talk about a strong and accurate leg, this is a very talented emerging senior. The Explorers are one of the deepest group of special teams in all of Florida – and to get on the field to actually play – you must compete against some quality prospects who attend several events year-round.
