Christian Mather '20 Recruiting Profile

    As a Junior, I was a kicker, punter and a cornerback for Grassfield High School. I have attended several local and national specialist camps and climb the ranks to a 4.5 star rating by Chris Sailer.  I’m ranked as one of the best kickers in the country as a 16 year old in the class of 2020.  I am at least a year younger than my peers, and kicking a cleaner and more consistent ball.   My current field goal long is 57 yards, my kickoffs average 68 yards, and my punts are 40 yards with a hang-time of 4.1 seconds.  I play two other sports in high school, track and soccer. I have played soccer for nine years and ran the 400m and 100m during last years track season.  I have been on several traveling soccer teams, and found my niche as a kicker on my middle school football team.  I am actively participating in skill/technical camps over this summer, and plan on attending as many as possible.  

    I am a Honor Roll student, I am currently enrolled in two AP classes and will be taking the AP exams at the conclusion of this year.  Academics are extremely important part of my life. My parents have always been a supporter of my athletic and academic goals.  Currently, both of my parents are on active duty in the Navy, and graduated from the University of South Carolina.  I was born in San Diego, CA, and due to my parents being on active duty, I have had the opportunity to move around the country.  I have the ability to adapt to many different teaching and coaching styles, and have maintained a high GPA throughout middle and high school. 

My goal is to play football and achieve academic excellence at the collegiate level.  I have greater growth potential than my peers, and can’t wait to develop my skills in college.
