    Kohl's Comments

    Knoll came out to the 2024 Kohl's Midwest Showcase Camp in May. He had a solid day for his first ranking event and graded out as a 4-star kicker. He scored 7 points on field goal charting and showed good mechanics throughout the day. His swing is very smooth. Knoll scored 80.65 points on kickoffs with a big ball of 54 yards and 2.73 seconds of hang time. He impressed during the punt charting as well and produced a score of 99.05. He scored points in the roll-out portion of camp and was consistent with the command of his drop. Knoll's efforts focused in the weight room will help grow his abilities over the next year.
