LeCorre Named To MN Preseason Dream Team

I am very excited to announce that Junior Edina High School (MN) Kicker, Patrick Lecorre, was named to the MN Football Hub "Preseason Dream Team" today. 

To see the full list of the "Preseason Dream Team" athletes and read the article, click here.  

Patrick and I started training together after his freshman year.  His first and only start as a freshman was during the first round of the section playoffs, of which he kicked the game winning field goal for his team.  He then won the starting kicking spot as a Sophomore and has since really developed into one of the top kickers in Minnesota as well as becoming a top kicker nationally in his class. 

I'm really proud of the kicker he has developed to be.

Here are some statistics, videos and articles to learn more about Patrick LeCorre:

As a Sophomore he kicked 13 of 20 (3 blocked) field goals with a long of 46 yards.  He had a 57 yard kickoff average.  He went 25-27 PATs (1 block).  This season earned him 'All State Honorable Mention' as well as All Conference and Special Teams Player of the Year at Edina.  His 13 field goals earned him a spot 'Tied for 2nd' in the Minnesota Football Record Books with the most field goals made in 1 season as well as having his 14 career Field Goals rank him 7th overall in career Field Goals made.

2012 Class of Minnesota's Bombers

He's ranked as the14th best Field Goal kicker in the Nation for the Class of 2015 according to National Camp Series as well as being ranking highly on Kohls and Sailers recruiting lists.


Here are a few links to learn more about Patrick.
