Kohl's Comments

Rudd competed at the 2025 Underclassman Challenge and scored 114.90 points on kickoffs, 14 points on field goals, and 99.45 points in punting. Rudd has one of the strongest legs in the 2026 class! At a December 2024 Showcase Camp he scored 104.6 points on kickoffs, 9/15 points on field goals, and 92.11 points in punting. Rudd also did well in the drill work phase of camp. Rudd competed at the National Scholarship Camp in July of 2024 and scored 24/36 points on field goals, 99.95 points on kickoffs, and 94.6 points in punting. He had an injured ankle at the event and still put up good numbers. Rudd had another strong performance at the 2024 Kohl's UC Challenge. He scored 12 combined points in the field goal charting. His overall kickoff score was 108.55 after the two sessions. He has quick hips and creates explosive power on his contact. He is quickly developing into one of the top field goal kickers in the country. Rudd was exceptional at the 2023 AZ Winter Showcase. He scored 15/15 points in the field goal charting, won the field goal competition for the underclassman, and was impressive on his kickoffs. He is a powerful lefty who creates excellent leg speed into contact. His score on kickoffs at camp was 109.25 with a big ball charted of 71 yards with 3.98 seconds of hang time. Rudd has a big next 12 months ahead to determine his overall value as a recruit!
