February 7, 20232 yr Sounds like a PWO. https://www.kohlskicking.com/player-profiles/reed-malphurs "The trajectory he creates is also towards the top of his class nationally and if can consistency lock his leg out through ball/foot contact He can become one of the top field goal kickers in the 2023 Class." Reed Malphurs, 6-6, 205, Sr., Dallas Hillcrest Yes, you read those measurables correctly. After booting a 57-yard field goal against Seagoville as a junior last year, the sizable kicker turned the heads of scouts and helped the Panthers to a 7-4 season and a playoff berth. His accuracy and power helped him earn District 6-4A Special Teams Player of the Year and honorable mention on the Texas Sports Writers Class 5A All-State Team. Malphrus, who also punts and plays wide receiver for Hillcrest, has not committed to a college. He is garnering interest from big-time Power 5 programs like Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi State, TCU and Texas Tech, among others. Edited February 7, 20232 yr by texasdago
February 7, 20232 yr Everyone on the roster needs to be over 6'5". This is a step in the right direction.

February 7, 20232 yr Damn....modern day Russell Erxleben (minus the securities fraud, we assume). Edited February 7, 20232 yr by MirrOlure
February 7, 20232 yr Looks like he could fill out some but if/when he fills out his frame, will he lose legspan, too?
February 7, 20232 yr I'm no kicking expert but watching this guy kick and based on stuff I've read about Tucker, it seems our boy Reed has some additional power to unlock. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13670497/616f6087b53e820590ea22b0
February 8, 20232 yr At 6’6”, 200+, I’d say he’ll eventually turn into a Joey Bosa-like wedge buster but there won’t be any wedges to bust. Dude straight up murders the ball on KO like Andy Reid in PP&K.

February 8, 20232 yr This kid is kicking the shit out of the ball and it looks like he's barely even touching it. I just watched him whack it 70+ yards (35 second mark) and it looked like he wasn't even trying. Edited February 8, 20232 yr by Hornius Emeritus

I just watched him whack it 70+ yards (35 second mark) and it looked like he wasn't even trying. Exactly what I came here to say. He's barely following through at all and the ball is going 70+ yards. No idea if he'll ever amount to anything or what his accuracy's actually like but he seems like a very nice gamble at PWO to me.
February 10, 20232 yr He's already a weapon as is. I don't know how much you mess with his technique. Someone who grills shrimp on a barbee should probably answer that question. I don't care if he kicks standing on his head, as long as he is consistent at long range. As mentioned, he also looks lilke a legit athlete and that's always a good thing.

February 11, 20232 yr Hillcrest is a weird high school. I knew one girl who went there in the early 90’s because her dad snorted her Ursuline tuition money and mom got the house in the subsequent divorce.
February 11, 20232 yr My dad went to hillcrest in the late 60s. Demographics have changed…just a bit.
February 12, 20232 yr Still in a relatively affluent area, just tons of apt complexes in their attendance zone adjacent to 75 on tons on the east side of it.

February 13, 20232 yr knowing nothing about him, "Reed Malphurs" sounds more like a Quidditch player than football
