“Jonathan Ballenger attended over seven Jamie Kohl Punting Camps and was ranked a four star prospect when he was offered 2 college scholarships to punt. Jonathan planned on doing this while working on a Masters Degree since he still had NCAA eligibility after Covid.”

“Jonathan had not played football in over five years but put a significant amount of time and energy into learning his craft – perfecting his punting – and working on both weight lifting and nutrition.  The hard work paid off in that his collegiate numbers hovered around 39 to 40 yards per punt and average and had a collegiate hang time of 3.5 to 4 seconds.”
