Congrats to Nathan. He's got a cannon for a leg and is a very good all-around athlete. The football/soccer combo isn't unusual, but when you add baseball to the mix, he becomes fairly unique.

@DevilMayCare  @GOREDDEVILS  Not that it matters, he is a great kicker, but is this a preferred walk-on or a scholarship?

I have no idea. Hopefully a scholly, but this statistic isn't encouraging.

From Google:

"Less than 1% of high school senior kickers, punters & snappers around the nation are fortunate enough to earn a college football scholarship. Over the years, it's become common place for college football programs to only offer 'preferred walk on' spots to high school specialists."

Exactly why I asked.  Most, are PWO for, at least, their freshman year and then may move into a scholarship.  

Heck, even Pettry was a gray shirt, then a red shirt, then played four years on scholarship.  

I guess it depends on what they have currently at the kicker position.

I really have no idea, but if he works hard he has the leg to become their full time Punter or kicker. When he gets in a college weight room and has the right nutrition his leg and him in general will get Stronger.

 

He was a 4.5 star Kicker and a 5 Star punter. So he could be a Scholarship player or  PWO. I don't think I've heard anyone say.
