It has been quite a journey for both Ryan Allen and Caleb Sturgis. Who would have imagined! Ryan Allen goes to Oregon State as a preferred walk-on and then transfers to Louisiana Tech. A couple of years later, he won the 2011 and 2012 Ray Guy Awards. Ryan has been putting forth his best effort with Coach Mike McCabe for the past few years. Ryan has traveled all over the country to train with Coach McCabe regularly. Now, Ryan awaits a chance to be drafted in the NFL Draft.
Caleb Sturgis has also been on quite a ride over in Gainesville. Caleb Sturgis has been the Florida Gators starting kicker since 2009. Caleb has also been training with Coach Mike McCabe since he was in high school. Caleb has shown hard work and dedication in mastering his craft for years. In 2011 and 2012, Caleb was a Lou Groza Award Finalist. Caleb has also received multiple All-American Honors while at Florida. Now Caleb also awaits a chance to be drafted by an NFL Team.
It could be a memorable day today or tomorrow for both One On One Kicking Trainees, Caleb Sturgis and Ryan Allen. All of us here at One On One Kicking are very proud of you both and proud of all the kickers and punters that have been given the chance to be part of the NFL Draft and to pursue a dream.
