2014 Minnesota Bombers Top Specialists Class

11 Minnesota Kickers, Punters and Snappers earned a spot on the 2014 Minnesota Bombers Top Specialists Group.  

This fall is our 3rd Annual Minnesota Bombers Class.  11 Minnesota Kickers and Punters earned a spot in the exclusive 2014 Minnesota Bombers Top Specialists Group.  Being a "Minnesota Bomber" means that these specialists have been recognized in having great kicking and snapping abilities and are some of Minnesota's Best ‘All Around’ Kickers, Punters and Snappers for their graduating classes.  They have a bright future as a high school athlete as well as the tools and skill set to play at a high collegiate level.





We took some time this September to get together down at the Minnesota Wing-Commemorative Air Force base in St. Paul, MN, and took some incredible images with the World War II B-25 Bomber plane-"Miss Mitchell."
