Steelers Rookie Punter Ian Berryman Talks Rookie & OTA Experience and Offers Tips That Can Give You An Edge | Ep 71


4DE Nation!  We have a great one here, especially if you are a fan of punting.  We interview Steelers Rookie Punter Ian Berryman.  He is also one of our Pro Specialist listeners of the 4DE podcast.  This is a great one as Ian talks about his experience at Rookie Camp and OTAs.  He talks about things he has learned so far, but also offers great advice on how he developed and found success as a punter.  We love his journey because he didn't punt until his senior year of high school and then had a very successful college career.  Further proof that if you put in the work, anything is possible.

2019 College Run Kicking Camp Schedule | For Kickers, Punters, Long Snappers (Part 2)

Here is a continuation of the camp dates (June 20- Aug 3)

Here are a list of most of the prominent College Specialists Camps (over 90) coming up for the summer of 2019. (We don't have every school).  We have compiled the list using a few resources that we have found as well (College Coaches, Research as well as Kick Spot, which supplied a most of the camp list).  If only the school name is listed, then the camp is dedicated to specialists only. If the camp is for all players and specialists are welcome, then it is listed as a prospect camp. 




All camps are available to any specialist (Rising 9th-12th, JUCOs and College Transfers) that would like to showcase their abilities and get noticed by the college’s coaching staff.  It is important for you to do research on these schools to find out if the program is a good fit for you academically and athletically.

MOST OF THE SCHOOLS HERE ARE LOOKING FOR A KICKER, PUNTER, COMBO SPECIALIST AND/OR LONG SNAPPER.


If you know of another camp that we don't have listed, please email CoachHusby@gmail.com or Kick Spot and We'll update the list.  More camp locations will be added as we find them.
