Who will replace Jeff Schebler at the kicking position?


Jeff Schebler ended his remarkable career in fitting fashion in last December's Stagg Bowl. The senior from Davenport, Iowa nailed a 44-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining to clinch UW-Whitewater's second NCAA Division III National Championship in the past three years.

The question of who will replace the greatest kicker statistically in NCAA history (all divisions) needs to be answered. Jake Kusters is the lone returnee. The junior from Racine has been Schebler's back-up for the past couple of years.

Three freshman are also in camp vying for the job. Stephen Guelff (Lake Placid NY),
Bryan Blazek (West Des Moines, IA), and Eric Kindler (Germantown)are all talented kickers in what Hawk head coach Lance Leipold calls a "wide-open" battle for the kicking job.
