class of 2028 - New Gen Player profiles & Performance ratings
what is a performance rating?
At New Gen Kicking, we keep detailed weekly records of our athletes' development through a one-of-a-kind performance rating system. This isn't based on opinion — it's built to reflect your skill, character, training habits, lifting consistency, game film, and accuracy. It's a transparent, earned score that tracks your growth over time and holds you accountable to your goals. The best part? You control it. Your rating will rise or fall based on the work you put in week to week. It’s not about where I think you are — it’s a direct reflection of the habits you show and the effort you bring.

Player Evaluation: Luis is a strong athletic prospect with tons of upside as a kicker. He has a massive kickoff leg with the ability to hit 70+ yards with 3.5+ hangtime. As he continues to focus on kicking over the next few years, watch him develop into one of the nation’s top kicking prospects.

Achievements:
2025 Future Stars Summer Camp Punt Charting Champion
Player Evaluation: Callen is a solid HS combo prospect. He is a talented punter who hits balls with a good combo of distance & hang. As he improving his pocket punting and roll outs, he will become more valuable to his special teams unit. He kicks a nice ball on field goal at times, we hope to see the ball striking improve as time progresses. Areas of improvement would be committing more time to the position during the off-season as we noticed a lack of focus during the 2024 off-season. Live operation kicks and directional kickoffs could also be developed over the off-season.
