#1 kicker commits to UCF
- Thread starter tjb74
- Start date
Can hit consistently from 50+ 😎
Hopefully can be a nice weapon in some close BIG XII games.
Feel like Gus and company are focusing on specialists. I feel like previous coaches treated them as an after thought.
#1 rated PK in the 2023 class by Kohl's. That's significant and adds to our Aussie P...
Grant Reddick | Kohl's Professional Camps
Reddick's most recent camp was the Southern Showcase in May of 2022. He again hit the cleanest field goals in drill work and won the field goal…

Better than Boomer? Better than that O kid? (sry anyone is better than that guy)
I still like Colton Boomer. Should be a good competition upcoming.
Obarski and Osteen are both seniors this year so it’s a good situation for Boomer to get broken in.
Both Reddick and Boomer can punt and kick so let them battle it out and one gets the punter job and the other is the kicker.
Reddick sounds like the real deal though, saw pics of him with Nick Saban in his office. I’m sure he doesn’t hang out with average K prospects.
*If* UCF can hold onto to both of these guys, it is set for the next three-to-four years as one of the top programs in the nation for specialists.
Mitch McCarthy has three years to play and will probably punt for the next two seasons before he gets drafted.
Reddick, like Obarski this year, will be the extra point and short field goal guy. Boomer will probably handle kickoffs and longer field goals. Aidan Fedigan will be the snapper for years to come.
UCF is really blessed to have these guys.
Boomer was unranked by Kohls. Obarski was ranked #23 in the country by Kohl’s. If you actually look at Obarski’s high school numbers, he kicked several 50 yard field goals. Not sure what happened to him at UCF.
After watching Boomer in the Spring game, he'll need to improve his skills. If Reddick is as good as projected, Boomer has to get better if he wants to compete for the K job. Neither will beat out the Aussie P but the question on him is how long does he stick around before trying the next level? One thing for sure, Gus is trying hard to improve ST's.
Kohls didn’t rank him because he didn’t go to their camps. He went to Cornblue who announced him a 5 star. All of them only rank kids that pay them money. Not much stock in their rankings.
You are correct on Mitch McCarthy. That dude is in his mid 20s. He has to play now. My heart goes out to Andrew Osteen. He has really improved his game, is on the Ray Guy Award list, and may not even start.
Colton Boomer is a good-looking kid. I didn't know his performance in the spring was subpar. I figured UCF was calling the kicking game between him and Obarski a 'close battle' to string along Riddick. Naming Colton the starter may have turned away Riddick. Apparently that's not the case. I hope Boomer sticks it out and doesn't transfer.
Matt Wright was so good for us. Now I cringe at every extra point try.
We had a couple aolid years with matthew wright and then that left footed kickers
That Kohl’s Kicking bio say he consistently makes 60 year FG’s, and can make from 65 with a little tailwind. This guy can be a major game changer. Highly touted high school kickers are very hit and or miss. I hope this guy‘s a hit.
Can u imagine holding a lead of 7 against someone like cincy. They just make a big defensive stop at our 40 and we bring this kid out to drill a 57 yarder to ice the game. This could drastically change our special teams play
He’s only made 1 FG in his career at Boone.

Okay…. So he only made 1 field goal, but he made 2 solo tackles. That’s gotta be the reason for the scholarship, right?He’s only made 1 FG in his career at Boone.

Kidding… I’m just kidding. 😝
Because he paid Kohls money to go to their camps and they say he’s great. I’m assuming Boone had another kicker. I think he went to some D3 school but he couldn’t beat that kid out.

Here we go..........Yesterday ....The senior Obarski went 5 of 7 with reporters watching, missing two from 40 and 35 yards. The miss from 40 bounced off the left side of the goal post.
Looks like we will be going for it on 4th down anytime we cross the 50

Geeesh….I wonder how many players we lost to P5 schools over the years after a subtle comment like that?
Tons. These recruits are told they won't be successful unless they go to a P5 school. Even if that P5 school is terrible they still view it as better than a G5 school.
