It is true. I can tell you when I was recruited out of high school, a lot of schools were interested in me, but very few offered me a scholarship. Most college coach's do not want to waste a scholarship on a freshman kicker and would rather you be a preferred walk on and then earn the scholly.gopokes1399 said:
It's a bit more than that, but as Cornpoke says it's the last position they'll fill and will invite many kickers as walk ons and hope for the best, rather than offer scholarships out of high school. The problem is that many kickers in high school don't get many chances so it's hard to judge. Plus when many good kickers get to college they lose it. Maybe it's the fact that the goal shrinks, the tee shrinks, the time to kick shrinks and there's a whole lot more pressure. Then again the traditionally strong programs offer kickers and punters all the time out of high school.gopokes1399 said:

Maybe his son Dylan, he went to Billings West and missed his junior year so he isnt highly regarded, but he has a good build and a walk on year red shirt and he could have a good defensive end build
