Blankenship Player Comments

"Schwartz has an incredible leg. We pegged him from our kicking camp in the summer. He was the best kicker at the camp. He's got an extremely strong leg. I think 90 percent of his high school kickoffs went out of the end zone. He's got definitely the distance to make the big kick as a field goal guy. He's got huge upside, very powerful. He's a guy that's offered by everybody. LSU, Alabama, Texas, all those guys offered him after we offered him. He's got great parents. He's got first generation German parents. Your word is your bond. They're all about the academic side. They are sold on the academics."
