A Knoxville kicker has verbally comitted to the Vols.

Seiber, of Central High School, has only played football for two seasons.

The former soccer player began kicking in hopes of getting a football scholarship at Tennesseee.

Let's be consistent and have a kicker controversy as well.....

And soccer player? I'm all about the former soccer players kicking....all in the spirit of Kevin Butler and Chris Gardocki.

I'm pretty sure the Colquitts were soccer players. Almost positive on Britton, but not sure about Dustin.

According to Lincoln's bio, he could be a linebacker. So it wouldn't matter anyways I guess.

So was this suppose to send a message to Wilhoit? I thought he was doing a lot better, 8 out of last 9.

Wow. 46.2 punt avg.

96% kick-offs are touchbacks

All-Europe
All-American
All-State
All-Conference

Prospect is a "SUPER" Place Kicker, scouted him in a very competitive game Aug 2005 and he dominated, scoring 12pts with 3pats and 3 long fgs, kicked-off 7 times in or out of the end zone, his kicking range is unbelievable, father is in the military stationed in Germany, this student-athlete is a can't miss Div-I recruit and is wide open on where he wants to go

:dance2: :dance2: :dance2: :dance2: :dance2: :dance2:

Judging by our lackluster offensive performances, I say bring in all the kickers we can. We need a guy who can kick about 70 yards...get that and we are back in business. :rock:

Yes, they both played at Bearden High School in Knoxville. Britton won a national championship with Bearden.

Illinois's kicker, Jason Reda, was one of the best soccer players in the state of Illinois if I remember correctly. He played football at Rock Island HS (MHS's rival) and he could kick very well in high school, but now sucks in his 2 years at Illinois. MHS has a kicker who plays soccer as well, he can kick from 45+ yards in high school. He never missed a feild goal this year. And almost every kickoff went through the endzone. So... I'm impartial. We don't need two kickers. Soccer players are iffy when they play football b/c they have akward styles of kicking and bad habits I guess.

What's an awkward style of kicking for soccer players? Should they still kick straight on then? Soccer style kicking is more effective and allows for a longer kick. Also, what bad habits can they have? I take it you're also an advocate for bringing back the dropkick too. Both Dustin and Britton were soccer players and have adapted to punting, which neither used at Bearden for soccer. I still think the NFL should go after more Aussie fball and rugby players for their punting.

Maybe this means the SEC may adopt mens soccer as a conf. sport soon :cross:

I was talking about kicking field goals. The timing is different. Soccer players are used to kicking on the run and such. I don't know how much of a difference it is. There's an advantage to punting if you played soccer. The leg is generally stronger and you can focus more on the ball rather than everyone else b/c that's what you do in soccer is focus more on the ball. I have a personal vandetta against soccer. I shouldn't let that get in the way.

I don't even know how to begin to tell you how wrong this post is. How many times have you seen a kicker kick a FG without running forward? Kicking a soccer ball and kicking a football are completely different. When you kick on the run in soccer it is usually a pass which is shorter and more accurate and many times with the inside of your foot. In football your target is a lot bigger and is stationary so aiming is less of an issue. Football players work out so much that their legs are generally just as strong. The only advantage a guy thats played soccer has is that he is probably more familiar with the kicking motion.

What are the high school rules in Tennessee concerning kickoffs? Can a kick-off that goes into the end zone be returned. In NC it can't. It's an automatic touchback whether it goes in on the fly or rolls or bounces in. Of course, there aren't a lot of high school kickers over here who can consistently put it in the end zone either.
I don't know why it is a rule here unless it's possibly to cut down on injuries. (??)

One's a punter, one's PK? It makes me wonder how firm the Lincoln commitment is. :no:
