Sounds like a PWO.

"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.

Everyone on the roster needs to be over 6'5". This is a step in the right direction.

S&c coach needs to be on these guys to make height. 

Damn....modern day Russell Erxleben (minus the securities fraud, we assume).

Looks like he could fill out some but if/when he fills out his frame, will he lose legspan, too?

6A?  He played against schools too big to focus on football /aggy 

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. AD6A6E81-768B-40B1-ACD1-5E106E9A5415.thumb.png.b446a880d1996d9fafb1ac1211898014.png

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.

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. 

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.

That’s a big kid.  He didn’t get that from his dad. 
Hook ‘em.

No sunshine? From Hillcrest, Lol. I agree that he is kicking the shit out of it with a limited kicking motion. Want, but would not bang.

Not your Grandad's Hillcrest.

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.

My dad went to hillcrest in the late 60s. Demographics have changed…just a bit.

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.

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