Another New Commitment-Zach Guyer

[jamesfnb]

Zach's 2007 Johnston High School Stats:

Made 11 of 14 field goal attempts
Made 37 of 39 PAT
51 of 61 kick-offs were touchbacks

I know Zach's family. Along with the schools already mentioned in this thread he was talking to UNI and Illinois. ISU was basically recruiting him from day one. Zach's dad is a big Cornhusker fan so I originally thought he may go there but I guess not.

Nebraska's kicker has an AMAZING leg... powerful as Crosby or Gramatica.

What ever happened to the JC kicker w/ greencard issues? Do we still expect him for next year?

He was only eligible to play at USC, Texas, Ohio State and LSU. He was ruled ineligible as soon as he mentioned Iowa State.

M&M interviewed him tonight on KXNO a few minutes after 5. The kid sounded like he was caught off-guard (I didn't catch the first part to see if it was planned or not) and a little confused.

He doesn't need to interview well though - just put the ball through the uprights.

Yeah, it wasn't the best interview in the world. Lots of mumbling and confusion like you say. He made it sound like he wasn't getting a lot of interest in the recruiting world and was more than happy to get an offer from Iowa State. He said something about how he was planning to visit UNI this weekend (cancelled) and that he was going to take an unoffical to Illinois sometime before ISU offered. I'm glad we offered and frankly I don't know what took so long.

good at dodgeball = all big 12 kicker

 

[ripvdub]

so is he good at dodgeball?

but you don't kick the ball in dodgeball. maybe kickball.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Can he dodge a wrench?

Anyone else glance at his name and see "MacGyver"?

 

[bmuff]

Not so sure about this. Mohoney has a much more impressive list of schools, plus he is in EIU's backyard. No guarantee for ISU even if we "wanted him".

Doubt it. Mahoney doesn't have any offers and iowa already has a kicker committed.

I just hope that he isn't another Tony Yelk--a guy with a great leg who could never quite get it together. At least he could get the ball in the end zone!

By the way, did anyone else notice that Yelk's missed FG against Alabama was ruled off by the Big Ten ref that was fired because he was blind in one eye? That was one of the highlights they showed accompanying the piece on ESPN.
