What a stud! I'm glad he's going to BYU

Duluth, GA

Amazing kid. I have three kicking sons. The oldest kicks for Memphis, the other two for the Varsity and Freshman teams. How much time does he spend in the weight room? Can't wait to see him as a Cougar.

Duluth, GA

The Duluth High record is a 67 yarder off of a free kick after signaling for a fair catch just before the end of the first half. Something for Peck to try sometime.

Congrats on the field goal Sorensen. Any way you can pad up for the Tulsa game?

stay healthy young man. the world is yours as you would have it.

Can this guy punt?

I got to watch the Skyline/Bingham game while I was in town in August. Though the game was pretty rough for me (I'm a Skyline alum), the bright spot was watching Sorensen kick. I've seen power kickers before, but I've never seen a someone kick the ball so accurately and so consistently far in my life (including college and pro kickers). I'm excited to see him play at BYU (I'm also a BYU alum), and I'm glad to hear what a great kid he is. Thanks for a great article, Robinson.

PS- Maybe coach Peck should allow his team to earn a celebration penalty after every touchdown, just to give Sorensen some extra practice on kick-offs.

After reading this can someone tell me why Coach Peck went for two-point conversions on 3 separate occassions during the Jordan game? They ended up losing by one.

Stay off the unicycle, Justin, you're not in the circus.

They were concerned my nephew, Hayden Moss, would block the field goal!

I just read this article to my 5th grade son who loves to play football. I've been telling him since 3rd Grade, "Be a kicker!" I think this might have been the deal maker! Thanks Doug for a great write up and especially thanks Justin for inspiring my young future Cougar to KICK!

I saw Justin at the BYU/UCLA game. The guy has some legs! He said he was excited to go out there and kick for BYU next season. I wish he could have helped out at the UCLA game.

Baffled, The team was down by 5 after scoring a TD the first time. That is why he chose to go for 2. I should say the first two 2 pt tries were wide open passes that were dropped by the receivers in the endzone. The last one to go for the win was because it was a pre season game and he already had enough guys injured. Peck figured he'd try to get the game over with and get out of there without any further injuries in a game that didn't really matter.

Baffled and Gunner,
Also, Peck said Jordan was on fire and moving the ball at will and he didnt want to go to over time with them.

Dwain

Hey lets not forget Mat Wheatley If you matched him up with sorensen he would make twice as many and twice as far wheatley is the best kicker in the entire state

anon.

Seriously, can this guy learn to punt? It sounds like he has the tools, and enjoys a challenge.

tyler

Mat Wheatley? who the devil is that!

This is why BYU will contend for a BCS bowl next year, not this year. the kicking game is too critical to the game, and BYU can't contend with the mediocre kickers they have right now. He sounds like at Mitch Payne on steroids.

Gunner

Friday nigh lights fan. I agree. I was at the game and when the call was made I made that exact comment. We couldn't stop them, so don't try doing it from the 10 yard line in overtime. Go for the win.

Can't Wait

Can he come in and kick now? BYU's kickers are terrible. So sad that Mr. Mitch Payne's big brother is not there to help him keep his job. He got you in the school and now this kid with much better talent is about to put you out of a job.
