2025 CAMPER RANKINGS
We’ve seen hundreds of young kickers and punters over the past four years of running our camps, and we’ve been impressed with the level of ability of many of our campers. This year is no exception, and we’ve studied our evaluation film, our notes and had many 1-on-1 lessons and have compiled our list of top campers of 2025.
As I took on a new role as Special Teams Coach for Wisconsin Lutheran College, I am even more aware of what it is college recruiters are looking for in high school specialists:
• Distance • Technique • Elevation/Hang Time • Game Experience • Athleticism • Good Grades • Great Teammate • Coachability
As a special teams coach, I’m eager to work with every single kid who steps on to the field with a willingness to learn. The best recruits, for all of their accolades, still carry a mindset of constantly looking to improve. Those on this list represent the very best that we’ve coached this past summer (and performed during the 2025 Fall season).
We like to put this post out to helps build exposure to college recruiters as to the very best specialists we’ve had attend one of our camps. This is not a star-rating system, rather it is a full listing of those campers (of high school age) and their alignment compared to hundreds of other campers. I cannot comment on those I have not seen in person, and, although there are 25 kickers on this list, I’ve simply highlighted those that I think are most likely to be recruited at the college level.
For campers who did not make this list, take it as a challenge to continue to develop your skills. I am happy to promote you to collegiate recruiters next year, but will only do so for those who I believe can actually help a collegiate program. And if you are a youngster learning the craft, then these are the high school kickers and punters you should strive to compete and connect with.
Any coaches or recruiters who are interested to learn more about these kickers and punters is welcome to contact me for a full assessment.

TOP CAMPERS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS
Coach Farley: “There’s no set number to our ranking. I place those kids on this list who should be recuited at the college level. Predicting their ability for D1, D2 or D3 is tricky, because many kids develop later. Campers and coaches alike, can easily access my YouTube Channel to see verifiable evaluations of every kid on this list.”
