Football Recruits - 2019

Tue Feb 12, 2019 5:12 pm

Lest you think the coaching staff is taking a long winters nap after signing day, we've got some more offers out for kids, including a 6'6" QB from Ft. Scott (KS) CC who's originally from Jefferson City, MO:

Also a punter out of Iowa Western CC:

The punter can also do FGs and his brother was a 5* kicker who's at Penn State. Also...this has gotta sting:

Kid is huge for a punter! Looks like a TE

I like the QBs film. Nice touch, throws a very catchable ball. Also has pretty good feet. Not going to be a 1,000 rusher, but can run enough to be a viable threat. Moves well in the pocket too.

A "GunnarSlinger" at QB and a "Hunter the Punter" to pin them back deep. This could be good.

Yeah, was thinking if he came in and won the kicking job, we'd have a ridiculously huge special teams. Fellner looks and is built like a DE/TE.

Reminds me of a funny story told by a former Met and one time Brewer outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Said he was thinking about playing college football and was on a visit to Colorado, some guys were on the field shirts off and he asked the coach, does that guy play safety? Coach said, no that's Mason Crosby our punter (6-2 215 listing in college). Kirk said, that's when I knew I was going to be a baseball player.

That’s great to hear but at the time my statement stood true. Haha. But, nevertheless excited to have QB on our roster.

I did not know Midwestern Prep Academy existed. They must be using some facilities from the old Chanute Air Force Base.

Same here. Their facilities look pretty decent though: http://www.midwestprepacademy.com/
Yeah, looks like that's the area they're located in...large open spaces and fields to the west of the runways.

Beck himself is from Burlington, IA...so a fairly local kid.
