It is rare for a high school kicker to be offered straight out of school. Usually they are offered as preferred walk-ons until the upper classman graduates.

I saw this kid kick PAT's and FG in three games this past season. Despite the copius mane (hair), he is the real deal. He has a strong leg and, judging from the length he dealt with on many FG, he can "aim" his kicks very accurately. High school players seldom get these skills automatically. They have to work with a serious coach who knows what's going on, and then physically and mentally devote a significant amount of their time to practice. It's really nice to see a kid who is willing to give of himself and his time to become really good at this phase of the game, get the recognition from a D-1 major conference program in the form of a full scholarship. I'm looking forward to watching Matt on Saturday afternoons next fall.
