Evan Guenthner, 5'10", 172 lbs is a highly accomplished placekicker / kickoff specialist from Guerin Catholic High School (GCHS). With a powerful leg that is still developing combined with pinpoint accuracy, Guenthner is establishing himself as one of the most outstanding, consistent placekickers in the state of Indiana. Having focused his strength and conditioning on his kicking mechanics, combined with expert instruction, he has been able to move to top rankings with leg strength to boot field goals up to 55 yards.
For the entire 2022 regular season and in the IHSAA playoffs, Guenthner was a leader in the state of Indiana in all placekicking categories. A perfect 43/43 in PATs with multiple field goals as well as 20 touchbacks on kickoffs make him a top national prospect among 2023 graduates.
A team player, he served as captain and has earned both yearly and game special teams honors. For post season honors, Guenthner was the 2022 Circle City Conference 1st Team Kicker, a conference dominated by perennially outstanding teams including the 2022 3A State Champion. He also was named the 1st Team Hamilton County kicker in a county with five 6A schools. Finally, he was named again this year, the Guerin Catholic Special Teams Player of the Year. Guenthner also has had multiple special teams player of the week awards and made the game winning 36 yd FG in GCHS' first playoff game as the Golden Eagles defeated #3 ranked Oak Hill.
Guenthner is the oldest of 5 children. Being one of 5, he grew up having to be a team player at home and this has translated very well to school and sports. Being the oldest means that all of his siblings are always looking up to him and expecting him to do the right thing. That means a lot to him. Being a kicker, he loves the pressure because it is like at home. He has to make the right choices. And if he doesn't, he learns from them and doesn't make the same mistake twice.
Guenthner plans on majoring in petroleum, mining, or construction engineering in college.
