22-23 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My mom and dad were both college athletes, and I've always seen myself following in their footsteps. I joined the JV football team in seventh grade and have been on varsity since freshman year. I am contributing not only as a kicker but also as a defensive back and wide receiver. I was on the 1A state championship basketball team as a sophomore, which is not an experience most kids have. I also played soccer this fall and was able to balance between that, football, and school pretty successfully, receiving All-Conference Honors in soccer and Honorable Mention All-Conference as a kicker for football.
I would say my main goal is to go to a respectable college and earn a business degree as well as help the football team as a kicker any way I can. I know that my academics are just as important as my talents on the field. And I believe I have a good mindset to be a successful college kicker. I am willing to put my head down and work. And I can work within my role. I am confident in my abilities on the field but still humble. And I have a short term memory with kicking, so if I miss one it won't leak and turn into more. Additionally I am the sixth of seven kids so I know that earning myself an athletic scholarship would help my mother tremendously.

- Great weekend in the Smoky's! Top 150 for the class of 2024 in FG, Top 125 for the class of 2024 in KO. 4.5 star kicker ranking. "Chandler had another strong showing at the 2023 Kohl's National Scholarship Camp. His leg strength has gotten better and his ball striking was solid as well. He scored a combined total of 17 points in the field goal charting and was able to connect with a big ball of 68 yards with 3.81 seconds of hang time. Chandler competed at the 2023 Kohl's Southern Spring Showcase Camp. He competed well at the event especially because it was his first ranking event. He scored 8 points in the field goal charting and followed that up with a smooth swing and clean rotation during the drill work portion of camp. He charted several kickoffs over 60 yards at camp including a big ball of 65 yards with 3.46 seconds of hang time."
