JUST FOR KICKS
Buffalo, New York, Canisius placekicker Blake Haubeil participated in the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Thursday.
"It was a ton of fun," Haubeil told Eleven Warriors. "I met a lot of great guys and AT&T Stadium is so neat."
The Ohio State commit was was 1-for-2 on the afternoon.
"First one, I rung it off the left upright a little over halfway up from 49 yards out. Second one was perfect from 35 to tie it at 24 with about 4 minutes to go," Haubeil said. "[I was] 3-for-3 on extra points and had four kickoffs with above 4.0 [second] hang. So very happy with how specials performed."
The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder was recently named to USA TODAY's all-USA first-team offense. He will enroll at Ohio State and pay his own way through fall semester before going on scholarship in January.
GIFT WRAPPED
