Five-star kicker & punter chooses Iowa State

Iowa State's 2022 class got one player bigger on Tuesday evening, with the addition of an all-state kicking prospect out of Oklahoma. Jace Gilbert - a five-star prospect by Kohl's Kicking Camps - announced he would commit to Iowa State three days after the school offered him. Gilbert played qu

Do we really need to say he’s a 5 star kicker?

Kohl’s ratings are way different than 247. He was asked to be a preferred walk-on at OU.. that doesn’t sound like a 5 star kicker

Well, 24/7 doesn't rate any kickers as 5 star. The highest they have any rated in the 2022 class is 3 star and there are only 14 of those.

There were 15 3 stars in the 2021 class.

I think it more accurate to say a kicker is 5 star when he is at the top of the class of kickers that year than it is to say even the best of the best are only 3 stars.

Mevis and Dicker the kicker were both 3 stars in the top 15 of their respective classes on 24/7.

If he's ranked 13th and 18th in the nation wouldn't that make him close to a 5* or definitely a 4* at his position if he played any other position.

He also played QB and won a 2A state championship leading his team. nice to know we can have some confidence in him if/when we call a fake.

Don't hope to need it, but also as an 11th desperation tackler vs a non-athletic punter/kicker.

Why would we not want a 5 star kicker?
 
Ideally you’re getting guys that are top 5 at their position when it comes to kickers/punters. The quality seems to fall off significantly after that.

As always will defer to the staff and trust their eye for talent.
