This evaluation process enables us to effectively "sort out" the top prospects through our STAR RATING and identify each athletes "capability." An important aspect that allows the athlete to show at any time his ability to consistently kick or punt as if he were already in college. By displaying this type of performance any kicker and punter can greatly increase the likelihood of earning a spot on our list.
