Kohl’s Kicking Scouting Report
Soukup has proven time and time again that he is the best snapper in the country. He has the rare combination of power, control, and athleticism. Against the best snappers in America Soukup finished with the second-highest overall score and multiple snaps in the .66 second range. He put a staple in his journey by winning the Under Armour All-America Game competition. It’s no surprise at all that Soukup will be attending Indiana University on scholarship. He is a wonderful individual who has the talent to snap at any level.
