Halsell is a 6-1, 205, redshirt Freshman kicker from ST Joseph HS, Santa Maria, CA. He will be competing to be the back-up kicker.
Here is Kohls camp’s analyses of Halsell coming out of HS:
He is a college level player who's made great strides in the last year. He has an excellent kickoff leg and his field goals have continued to make progress. Controlling the speed of his leg swing, which is one of the fastest in the country, is key for him. In July, Halsell made an impressive 33 points on FG's which is a direct result of his work ethic and determination to become a great player. Halsell's impressive leg strength has shown that he can compete at the next level on kick off's. His "A" ball is top 15 in the country and has been for awhile. Halsell is someone to watch for next year at the college level!
