Kicker/Punter invited walk-on

Class 5A All-State 1st Team Kicker

John Curtis’ Austin McCready. He is the top specialist in the state and former 1st team All-American punter by Max Prep. At 6’2 and 185lbs, Austin has good size for his position(s) and utilizes it on the baseball diamond as a pitcher and first baseman.

Along with his great size he is strong, with a max clean of 225lbs and squat 325lbs. In the classroom he maintains a 3.6 GPA and with a 20 on the ACT.

On the field, he excels as a punter and kickoff man along with being a reliable kicker. Austin’s punts consistently have good hang time and distance. On kickoff, he has the ability to get the ball out of the endzone, with his shorter kicks landing between the 5 and goal line. In all three phase he has good technique and you can tell he knows the ends and outs of his craft through conversation.

Welcome to the Tiger Family, Austin!

Oh, and ignore TigersRuleAll who will make an appearance directly to complain that you did not have scholarship offers from LSU, Alabama and Clemson.

Here is a video. Isn't that the same high school Danny Wimprine went to?

I knew I recognized that school name. You're right - and thanks for the reminder.

He punted that sucker from the 6yd line to the other 30yd line. That thing went roughly 65 yards in the air. That's pretty amazing for a HS punter.

Here is a good video about the Memphis coaches that recruited him.

24/7 shows he also had offers from LOUISVILLE and MICHIGAN STATE. There is a 2019 highlight video on this link as well.

I saw another kicker "signed" with Memphis according to the Facebook. A kid from rural west TN - but not the one from Lexington discussed a couple of weeks ago. I believe he was from Dresden but am probably wrong.

Anyway, haven't heard anything about him in the news. I'm sure it's another PWO situation.

EDIT: Caleb Hawkins from Ripley. gulfcoastgal had him listed - thanks!
