Kohl's Comments

Gonzales competed at Kohl's National Scholarship Camp in July of 2024 and he had another excellent showing. He scored 108.48 points on kick-offs, 27/36 points on field goals, and 86.6 points in punting. He leg strength might be the best in the 2026 class. He has excellent command of his ball striking and he showed once again at the 2024 Kohl's UC Challenge to be one of the most consistent ball strikers in the country for his age. He scored 11 points in the combined field goal charts and produced a combined score of 109.13 in the kickoff charting. He commands his "A" ball with ease and has excellent technical refinement with his swing. Gonzales had an incredible showing at his first ranking event, the 2023 Kohl's Southern Winter Showcase. He was in total command of his body, and he impressed the staff with his pure ball striking. He scored 14/15 points in the charting portion and created phenomenal lift and rotation on his strikes during the drill work portion of camp. His overall score on kickoffs was 108.35 which includes a big ball of 72 yards with 3.87 seconds of hang time. He will be fun to watch develop over the next two years!
