okay we uh can start with Ira here Hey Jake how you doing good how are you good um you know people always talk about quarterback's a position where there's only one ball so you know one quarterback can play but obviously kicker is a same you guys have Fitz coming back um did that was that a positive to you about coming to flor state or or did that concern you coming to flor state it was definitely a positive I mean not many freshman kickers are lucky to have a veteran kicker like Brian um he's all like he's been my guy that I've been going to like for advice like he'll just like I'll be kicking out there and he'll see something he'll tell me something about like what to change what to do and I just think I'm very lucky to have someone like him especially like mash too one of the top hunters in college so I definitely think it's a bonus because I get to learn and he's um he's had a lot of experiences that I get to learn from him too so I definitely think it's a huge like bonus for me got one on Zoom here from Chris Hey how did JP coach powerfield some of those other guys that work with you kickers how much did they influence your decision put you at conert with choosing FSU uh coach JP uh and Coach Barfield definitely were a huge uh huge uh reason why I came here I mean they just kept it honest to me the whole time um when I was making my decision coach JP like it was a funny story like when I came two years ago um he he I told him just keep it honest with me and he was like look uh when I worked out he was like we're going to take 2023 and how I did he was like uh the way you did we're going to go to 2024 round um like you're going to uh we want you to be our guy and especially when you g me that call right after the cheese bowl game um he he was just like look like you're the best kicker in the country what would be done not to have you here so he was just he just kept that honest with me and Coach bar definitely he's uh kicking coach like he he helps us out a lot there so a lot of our specs room we're definitely lucky to have some my coach field and they just treat my family like it was like family every time I was here it was just a family like environment and checked all the boxes and definitely say Florida state was a spot that I wanted to play at Peter Jake there was a video of you kicking um 70 yard field goal um is that like your career best or you feel like you can kick a little further than that I definitely say um that was my best that day I kind of just woke up I was not expecting to hit a 70 that day uh my leg was feeling good so I decided just I was with my king coach and I was like all right we'll just keep backing it up and um I tried 71 I hit the crossbar so definitely 70 but I mean who knows coach storm is getting me stronger and Coach Coleman so hopefully as years come I could hit somewhere farther as I feel like kicking a football is probably one of like the most deceptive difficult things to do it looks like anybody should be able to go kick a ball um for you did you ever hit a point like in your early career here where you you really learned what it's like to be a kicker in terms of having to figure out what's not going well how you have to go ahead and fix things just how difficult really truly is it to get to the right mindset to be a successful Place K yeah so I started my career like my whole life I've been playing soccer so um I kind of never kicked the football and I feel like I played I played Midfield so I'd always hit like long balls and stuff like that like so I kind of got used to like where it hit on the ball and when I switch over to kicking it was kind it was it was not similar cuz it's a different size of ball but um I feel like as I kept on kicking and getting used to it I definitely say like over time I got better and like I just learn stuff as I go like like I train like like even like with fits and a bunch of NFL guys like learning from them and like stuff that they like they teach you and stuff like that so I just feel like the more practice you get the more you just get used to it what's what's I guess the the longest feel you've hitting a game it feels like maybe a more a more fitting and I guess what what do you think you might you'd know better than me I guess your best attribute as a kicker is it your range is it accuracy is it what other things yeah so in game my farthest field was a 57 y that was my junior year um but I definitely say leg strength is obviously one of my main attributes but I definitely say accuracy too um I think like the biggest thing for kickers not how far you can kick it but how how many times you can make it and I feel like not many kicks are from 57 stuff like that so I feel like staying consistent from inside the 50 is definitely a big thing and I feel like that's something that's a huge um strength of mind just accuracy too Chris on Zoom the kicker fraternity is a really small one how many guys in the group have you gotten to know beyond M pits and who are some of the pro guys you trained with yeah so um I've trained with Roberto he's from where I'm from so uh Roberto um I actually text um I texted him so and he uh we went out to the fields once and it was kind of more of not like just kicking it was kind of just like I was asking him questions on like his experiences what to know just advice for fresh like gu going into my freshman year but um I've been trying I think I'm a student train with Dustin Hopkins and uh some of the pro guys but definitely say Florida state is doing as kicker you so defin it's a huge uh it's a cool thing to say that the amount of success the amount of kickers that came out of Florida State so I definitely want to join that and hopefully fits next year we'll be part of that group too coach coach Norville talks a lot about how special teams is such a huge part of their program could you tell that like is that one of the things that attracted you to floor State yeah so um he he definitely takes uh special teams really important every practice starts with special teams and uh going into the camp we just started uh field goal uh so definitely I'd say he uh when I even came on visits he told me like he was like look um that was the one thing I like about he said he was going to believe in me and he was like he was uh we're not going to put you in situations that you're not prepared for so in practice he was like we're going to put you in tough situations so that when you're on the field out there that um that you're going to be ready for it and that was the one of the things that I like cuz he was like we're not going to put you in a situation where you're never prepared so definitely the times we kick in practice he's getting us uh used to that environment and putting us in the right situations for Saturdays anything else for Jake think we're good all right thank you appr
