Kyle is a very good kicker. He has a stong leg, gets great height on his ball, and makes kicks. Also very big on kickoffs. Great kid with the right attitude. Has all the tools to be one of the very best in his class. Should challenge for an "Event Elite" spot at the 8th Annual National Kicking Spring Event this May.

Brownsburg kicker Kyle Christy was named as one of 400 nationwide seniors nominated for the 2011 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
From the 400 nominees, 90 are chosen to participate in the Jan. 8, 2011 contest at the Alamodome in San Antonio televised live on NBC.
Christy, a 6-3, 175-pound junior this past year for the sectional-champion Bulldogs, connected on 5 of 8 field goals and 37 of 43 extra points. He also is considered one of the state’s top placekicker recruits for the Class of 2011.

Most Outstanding Punter:
Kyle Christy
The Midwest Showcase Camp drew 71 athletes from 14 states this past weekend, including many of the region's and nation's top kickers, punters and long-snappers. There were many kickers and punters who have the ability to play in college, and here are some of the top performers.
Kyle Christy (Brownsburg, Ind./Brownsburg), is a highly rated kicker already after showing well at other Kohl's events, but he really took a step forward in becoming an all-around specialist with a a great showing as a punter. Christy's smooth two-step punting approach allowed him to hit a punt that went 51 yards and had 5.0 seconds of hang time. He's emerging as one of the nation's best punters and ended up winning the punting competition, then won the kickoff competition later in the afternoon with a blast that went 74 yards and had 3.91 seconds of hang time. His field goals were solid, but his kickoffs and punts were special. His long frame and fast leg should make him a highly recruited prospect in the months to come. Right now, he is considering LSU, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Indiana and Cincinnati.

Kyle will be there.
Kyle has trained with Tim Williams, who has worked with several UC kickers and punters. Tim thinks Kyle is as good at punting as he is in kicking. Tim believes Kyle will receive offers before his senior year starts!
The bolded part is a bold statement. Very nice.

We UC fans all know what a good punter/kicker can do for your team. Huber was a huge special teams asset for the Bearcats during their Orange Bowl run and Jake Rogers has really turned into a solid kicker with a big leg.
From watching the video, it is very evident this young man has a big leg and a lot of potential. Some coaches fall in the mode of not wanting to "waste" a scholarship on a kicker. I don't agree with that at all. If you find a good kicker, sign him up.
Also, you have to like that this young man is a good student as well. Can't get enough of those.

It doesn't hurt UC that he's got family in the area that would love to see him play on a regular basis! We'll be spending a lot of time on the road next month seeing and being seen by many schools. Unfortunately, kickers and punters are usually the last to get offers. I only know of maybe 2 kickers and 2 punters that have each received 1 offer. Compare that to the big uglies that have a dozen or more each!
Funny, but the scoring leader on many teams is the kicker. Makes you wonder why they're not as highly recruited as any other player...

Totally agree. A great punter and kicker are worth their weight in gold. How many teams are hurt during a game by bad punts, or have solid drives that end with zero points. Doesn't make sense that schools don't go after the top kickers early and often.

Just got an update from my wife. She's with the boy at the Chris Sailer National Spring Event out in Vegas.
Yesterday, she called to let me know Kyle had some bad blisters on his feet that were causing him some real pain. She said kicking was more painfull than punting and his kick-offs and field goals suffered in today's competition rounds. However, he finished 3rd over all! He was only beat by 2 Junior College guys that are 2 years older than him! I guess with two back to back weekends with some great punting, I have to admit, the boy can punt!

Kyle Kristy has been traveling the United States for months displaying his kicking prowess. He has been ranked as one of the top kickers in the USA by several Kicking Schools and Camps Chris Sailer and Kohls kicking camps. After going to Louisiana State University for a kicking clinic LSU special teams coach (Joe Robinson) told Ken Christy in a phone conversation that LSU has found themselves a kicker from Indiana. A offer is being sent through Brownsburg HC Brett Comer. This is Kyle's first and probably not last. Congrats to Kyle and his family on all the time and hard work that has paid off in this SEC offer.

Two + weeks of kicking camps is hard on the leg of the kicker, but it's also hard on the dad that gets him to those camps...
Yes, Kyle has received an offer from LSU. He received the offer the day before the UC camp. UC coaches know he has the offer and Kyle met with Coach Jones before we left UC. We were told that UC does not yet know if they will be in a position to make an offer, but that they plan on keeping in touch with Kyle throughout the fall.
After UC, Kyle kicked at MN, Northwestern, Iowa St., Iowa, Florida, and Boston College. He is now done with camps, and will get back to working with his HS team. Two or three teams have expressed continued interest in Kyle, but none but LSU have made an official offer.
While Kyle (and his family) expect to make a commitment before the start of his senior year, he (we) realize that schools will continue to contact him till signing day in February.
