Is that the Alleman kid? I'm not sure if that's how you spell his name. Wasn't he told he'd be given a scholarship if he got on the field?

I knew a kid in high school who worked hard all one summer on his kicking. He was averaging 45 to 50 yds from the line of scrimage punting the ball. Hang time 4 to 4.5 seconds. I watched him kick the ball over 70 yards in the air a number of times. When he got to fall practice that yer
one of his coaching did not like his mechanics. He went from 40 to 50 yds to 35. Sometimes the coaches screw up. If the kid was kicking so well? Why did they mess with him?

For a punter the only thing I could see changing would be the need to get the punt off in time...For a placekicker, I guess it would be the need to get the ball up quickly. If a kid is kicking good (distance) but isn't doing these things, the mechanics would still have to be adjusted. I'm not saying that this applies to any particular situation, I'm just throwing it out there.
