His offers are Ark, Ole Miss (only a verbal), and Florida. We’ll see what coaching staffs are where at this end of this season…he likes the coordinator at Arkansas…

I clinch my arse cheeks every time Ramos kicks a FG. I miss the days of York being almost a guarantee. Idc if we have 10 kickers, if this kid could be the best one of the bunch, I want him.

Gavin Higgins from Parkview is unreal. 2026 class.

Crazy, because Byrd has another good one too. LSU will most definitely take a 2026. Gonna be a tough class though, lots of schools are ‘26s. Georgia, Bama, Texas, Florida…if LSU isn’t already in touch they’re fricking up.

Gavin has the same coaches as my son.

Your constant posts about kicking is a bit much


I know some people tend to give you some shite on here but don’t listen to them. You have every right to be proud of a son who had obviously put a ton of work into developing his talents. Hell my son was a better than average though undersized high school football player but was proud of every second he spent working on and playing at his position. That’s just what good fathers do.

Good luck to him wherever he goes but would definitely be cool if he ended up a Tiger.

Totally agree. I prefer to read stuff by proud fathers than indifferent ones.

There was a 59 in Louisiana last week by an uncommitted kicker as well.

There's nothing wrong with a proud dad showing off his kid; thanks for sharing the video.

He’s probably 60-65% career.

They play on some absolute shite fields and the snappers / holders / blocking have been pretty awful. Between the blocks and fumbled snaps and generally not putting the ball on the spot it’s been pretty funny. This year he’s missed a 62, 59, and 54, I think 4 for 7 so far.

Never heard a college coach reference HS stats. It’s very strange position for recruiting…crazy competitive.

When you miss a FG in MS they move the ball to the opponent’s 20 like a touchback… so as long as you’re good with a hit to your stats it often is better to simply try. Miss a ball from midfield and it’s the same as a punt in the endzone…which would be hard to do from there (long snaps are way more unpredictable).

The puffy boots look softer than the heels…how does a fella go to strip club then end up out in the parking lot being kicked in the nuts by multiple dancers?

The world is office rockers friend. Or that’s a phenomenal AI demo. One or the other.

Really happy for your boy Gaston!
