Lost among the news from Pac-12 Football Media Day on Wednesday was some UCLA Bruins football recruiting news. That’s when Luke Akers from Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tennessee committed to the Bruins.
While Akers is ranked as a two-star prospect by 247Sports, but he is ranked as a five-star kicker by Kohl’s Kicking Camps. Kohl’s ranks him as the ninth-best kicker in the country and the tenth-best punter in the country.
Normally, I would share some of a recruits measurables, but that really doesn’t matter in this case because Akers is a kicker. Of course, it doesn’t make any sense to do that since Akers is a placekicker and a punter.
