Gridiron Top 300: K/P Brek Schultz, Live Oak High (Watson, Louisiana)

Brek Schultz is a top five kicker who is also a five star in the nation out of Watson, Louisiana in the class of 2025. Brek is a 5’9 170lb sniper at the kicking position and he is looking to make an even bigger name for himself in his senior season. He is also a four year starter for the Live Oak High Eagles, through playing during the season and attending camps, he has been able to maintain a 4.2 GPA in his academic career so far. His resume looks amazing, but something also apart of his game is that he is a top 35 punter in the nation. His junior year was definitely a highlight reel, to start his longest was a 51 yard bomb which is the school record, he went 4/7 in field goal attempts 7/10 including scrimmages, 18/19 on PAT, 29/33 touchbacks which is 88%, and averaged 35.8 yard punt average. He is getting scouted from almost all power five schools, and hopes to be flooded with more this season, to add to his amazing portfolio of offers already. Brek has already gotten looks from The Ohio State, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Alabama, Pitt, ULL, Texas A&M, and LSU. His first offer is from Air Force Academy. I had the honor to know Brek growing up and just recently get to interview him and ask him a few questions about his future and senior year.

Really it came down to not being able to play soccer anymore, my om said you’re really good at kicking when you played soccer, so why not try football.

What got you into football?

Mentality, just because he envisions himself in tough situations, when you believe you’re the best you perform the best.

Talking about the recruiting process

With soccer you have to adjust to different situations, and deal with the elements.
