Letter of Intent Signings.

Signings, from Junior colleges have started to come in. Boise has picked up for so far and like every signing they sound like they should be playing for the NFL. There is one that caught my eye, Tyler Rausa. The reason is, for whatever the reason is, schools do not sign kickers. Most the kickers out there are walk-on, have to fight for scholarships. I never get it. Well Boise went and signed a kicker. Is he the greatest, who knows...but Petersen is trying to fill holes he does not want to have to deal with, that is for sure....with a kicker, this last year would have been way different, and it was not that bad.
"Rausa, who will join the Broncos as a sophomore, played for Riverside City College this last season after graduating from Vista Murrieta High School in Murrieta, Calif. The 5-10, 180-pound kicker converted 15-of-20 (.750) field goal attempts this past season with a long of 48 yards. He was also 52-of-53 on PATs.
Following his final prep campaign season, Rausa was named Los Angeles Times California Special Teams Most Valuable Player, and was named all-state, all-CIF, all-county, All-Southern Section and All-Southwestern League. The senior captain was also named MaxPreps All-American in leading his squad to the 2011 CIF Championship."
