As you folks know, I'm not right very often but when my grandson told me about Will when Will was a Junior in HS and Blanton was an instructor at a Chris Sailer kicking camp I listened. Blanton ended up starting 4 years at Louisville and hold numerous records including most accurate FG kicker in their history. Also knowing he's not one for hyperbole got my attention. (Heck, if he hadn't played with Lamar Jackson, he probably would have had 20-25 more attempts! With Lamar almost every time it was 4th and less than 8 on the plus side of the field, Petrino would go for it!)
After that first camp, he told me to be on the look out for him. He said Will was the "real deal" and huge Bama fan ... said he had seen a lot of "camp kickers" who come and do well but Will has that "something special." Also said he was a great kid and not just a great kicker! Based on that, I made this post back in the summer of 2019! Just for grins:
"I'm going to go out on a limb (maybe not so much!) and say that Will Reichard will be the greatest kicker in Bama history! I am not saying he will make 100% of his FGs, but will be our highest percentage and highest scoring kicker of all time. Wow!! Did I really just say that..."
