AUSTIN, Texas, December 14, 2021 (Newswire.com) - For the eighth consecutive year, Brent Grablachoff, Owner and Coach of Kicking World, organized his National Showcase event, where high school football players from across the country showed why D1 college football programs should offer them scholarships.
Nearly 100 high school kickers & punters from 30 states traveled to Austin, Texas, where they were evaluated by the coaching staff, and performed in front of over 2,000 people who streamed the event live on YouTube.
"We created the National Showcase as a tool for football kickers to prove to college coaches what they can do, so they have every opportunity available to receive a college football scholarship offer. I'm thankful for all the families, coaches, and students who trusted us to embark on the big weekend with us in Austin," said Brent Grablachoff, Owner and Coach of Kicking World. "I'd say that over 75% of the attendees showed they have the tools to make it to some level of College Football, which is simply remarkable to have that kind of talent pool in one place."
On Kicking World's website, you can see a full recap of the 2021 Kicking World National Showcase, which includes detailed stats, a summary of the top performers, the live broadcast replay, and an event highlight video.
The last three consecutive years' Day 2 Overall Kickoff Elimination winners have gone on to earn D1 FBS scholarships at big-time football programs, including Clemson, Georgia, and Arkansas. Just four days after the event, three college football scholarships were already offered to two athletes who participated in this year's National Showcase. Mr. Grablachoff expects more opportunities after the dust settles this Wednesday during the 'early signing period' where college football recruits sign their National Letter of Intent. Over the coming weeks, 'Coach Brent', as he's called, plans to leverage his personal relationships that have been formed by coaching football and running Kicking World for 14 years to help garner scholarship offers for his top recruits from the 2021 National Showcase.
