Bryce Taylor latest IUFB Commit:
- Thread starter red hornet
- Start date
I have seen him play quite a bit and he is a man amongst boys related to opposition kickers in HS. I have a small sample size of basically the South games and some others but his kickoffs reach or go through the end zone and he is a FG weapon most don't have at the HS level. It will be fun to see him get better. Welcome Bryce!!
Coach Cignetti is focused on getting Indiana's best players.
Welcome Bryce!!
Great Special Teams play starts with a great Kicker....

That's the ticket, Indiana's best and Miami of Florida for the rest.
So was that a typo on his longest FG 43 yds. ? Do you know his potential distance ?
And now he can buy them! I don’t think it will matter anymore if there are foosball tables in the locker room.
I know others on here have seen him too so anyone can weigh in. Basically South has a good offense, so not a ton of chances to kick longer with them going for and getting a lot of 4th down conversions. None of his FGs look like they are barely clearing. Based on his kickoff leg strength and FG warm ups before game and at halftime he has more leg than he has had to show. I would say he will easily get into the 50's. Accuracy from distance is what we will need to see in game conditions. I don't think I would worry about his leg as far as distance based on above and given better coaching, strength/conditioning, etc. I also have no reason to think his accuracy in games from distance will suffer either. I just haven't seen it in game condition from long distance. Sorry for the ramble.
Having him literally nearly already on campus I'm pretty comfortable with the thought that our Special Teams coach has done his due diligence when it comes to Mr. Taylor. Seems he agrees with your assessment... 😎
Sounds like he's a Good one!
Thanks for your observations (4NDIANA), by the way, few things are better than first person scouting reports for those of us on here...

Speaking of ST! Any chance cfball adopts the NFL/XFL kickoff rules in the near future? IU needs to be prepared for this when they do, which means for them to recruit extra return specialist!
Thanks for the info. Of course you have to defer to the coaching staff based on what they have done so far in recruiting. Just thought that FG distance and 39 yd punt avg. were good but not great numbers.
Punting is definitely not his best attribute at this point and I am not sure he is coming to IU in that role. If so probably the emergency backup. I am trying to remember but it seemed inconsistent but honestly every punter for quite some time has seemed the same. He will uncorked one and then have a clunker but just like FGs he really wasn't punting a lot with their offense. HS punting is hard to judge because it seems like a fire drill most times with the long snapper probably the link impacting everything. I say all of that and he will probably end up the primary punter. Lol Once again, in warmups the leg is there.

Sounds like a very good kicker, thanks all for the info. i don't think that punt average is too shabby either for his weaker specialty.
Cool!
Welcome to the Hoosiers Bryce. Looking forward to many big time, big game winning boots!

Indiana football lands local, 2025 five-star kicker Bryce Taylor
Indiana football head coach Curt Cignetti is continuing to make waves on the recruiting trail when it comes to the 2025 class. This time around, he did not have to go too far to land another member of that class. As it was announced on his Twitter account, 2025 five-star kicker Bryce Taylor has...

Yes it’s fortunate indeed to have a nationally ranked kicker who wants to play for his hometown team.
The days of preferred walk on kickers were ill advised at best. We beat MSU because Campbell could kick and the MSU kicker missed key kicks … May Bryce surpass Pete Stoyanovich’s accomplishments.

He may as the New Indiana will be putting points on the board.
