Re: 2017 kicker commits to Tide : 4 * Brandon Ruiz

Welcome to the Crimson Tide Brandon. Obviously a great decision for you and for anyone good enough to get an offer from Coach Saban. You must want to get a great education, win championships and have an opportunity to go the next level.

Re: 2017 kicker commits to Tide : 4 * Brandon Ruiz

Wow! Incredible leg. Surprised no one has mentioned that he was hitting the KOs out of the endzone. Everyone of them sailed beyond the endline.

Then, the fg he kicks on the 12 second video is from the opponents 35 yard line!!! That would be a 75 yard field goal!!!

Chris Sailer has him rated #1 as a place kicker.

This part is interesting: "He is also a dependable punter."

"Major Accomplishments:
2-Time Member of the "TOP 12"
2014 Vegas Event Class of 2017 Kickoff Champion
2015 Vegas XXV Class of 2017 Field Goal Champion
2015 Vegas XXV Overall Field Goal National Champion
2015 "TOP 12" & "Event Elite" Class of 2017 Kickoff Champion
2016 Vegas XXVII Punt Finalist
2016 Vegas XXVII Class of 2016 Kickoff Co-Champion"

As a punter Sailer has him rated as the 40th ranked guy, as 4.5 star which is somewhere between D1 and D2. So he'd be a backup option as a punter as well.

Wouldn't that be a 45 yarder?

I think a 75 yarder would have been all over the news...but I hope you are right. :cool2:

Re: 2017 kicker commits to Tide : 4 * Brandon Ruiz

Let's see. 60 yds on the other side of the 50 + 15 yds on this side = 75, I believe Moon is right. Welcome to the Tide, Mr. Ruiz! RTR!!!

Do you mean his own 35 yard line?

I'm not sure which 35 yard line he actually kicked it from, but the OPPONENT'S 35 yard line is 35 yards from the goal line, plus 10 yards of end zone...if he kicked it from his own 35, then yes, a 75 yarder...




'91 you beat me to it...

Yep, it's a 75 yarder. I said "opponents 35 yard line" but meant "his 35." Just doesn't even sound right, but it would have been a 75 yarder. Crazy leg!

If you scroll down past the longer hightlight video there's a short one that shows the 75 yarder.

Is this a game situation or scrimmage? (Haven't seen the video.)
