Kohl's Comments

Van Zelst had strong showings at multiple Kohl's events in 2020. He is one of the best field goal kickers in his class and he has displayed excellent command of his body and control on his field goal reps. He charted well and competed well in the field goal portion of camp multiple times. His KO charts from his second Showcase in June show what he's capable of. Van Zelst's field goals are some of the cleanest in the 2021 class. He has grown into one of the top kicking prospects in his class and we expect big things from him over the next couple of years.
