He holds two offers at the moment, none from CU.[Coach] Gerber first noticed Kohorst the summer following the kicker's freshman year, when he was messing around and canned a 35-yard field goal at the school with his brother holding the ball.
"He just said, 'Hey, you want to play varsity football?'" he recalled.
Just like that, he gave up soccer -- which he'd played since age 6 -- and now is drawing the attention of college coaches. The lone Division I program to contact him so far is Boise State, ...
He was definitely visiting practice with his dad yesterday. I don't know anything beyond that. I was really confused when I saw him too because he's a super skinny kid and I had no idea what position we'd be recruiting him to play. We have so many kickers that that didn't even cross my mind.
I'm just saying that if I were returning a kick and heading for the endzone, I'd have 6 points. To give you some perspective, Goodman is 5-11 190, Jameson Davis is 5-10 185, Ryan Aweida (the new walk-on kicker) is 5-11 185, and Grossnickle is 6-3 180. Even for a kicker he's on the smaller side.

Maybe this is a sign of how much confidence the coaching staff has in the returning kickers. I am all for competition, but we sure do have a lot of scholarship kickers and we are looking to sign more? sheesh.
The number of kickers we target is slightly ridiculous.
Just wondering if you still feel this way. :smile2:
Kohorst was All Sunrise, All Southern Nevada, All State as a junior. He hit 10 of 14 field goals, best of 54 yrds. I saw the 75 yrd kickoff. Was amazing. His team was penalized and had to kick from the 25. Kicked it into the end zone. That was the night that he kicked a 51 and 54 yard field goals. He outright won 4 of the games for his team this past season. Missed one PA all year. He is punting high and long this summer. Should be ready for fall ball. He was also All State pitcher this year as well as Eagle Scout with near 4.0 grades. He’s got it all.
