Five years of training and practice are starting to pay off for Jonathan Fisher, a punter for Oakfield-Alabama Central School.
According to his father, Kurt Fisher, he's been invited to Senior Camps at Division I schools, such as Syracuse, Rutgers, Louisville, W. Virginia and Illinois.
Currently, Fisher is ranked the #1 punter in New York on MaxPreps.com.
"He's put in a lot of time and effort," said Kurt Fisher. "It's nice to see it paying off for him."
This summer Fisher will be attending Senior Camps to showcase his talents in front of college coaching staffs.
He finished the 2009 season with 19 punts for 888 yards and a 46.7-yard punting average.
So far his invites for Junior Days include one on Feb. 20 at the University of Pennsylvania and on Feb. 27 at Syracuse. He'll also be participating in an upcoming session with college coaching staffs in Buffalo.
Fisher is on the verge of striking the big time in college football a season after another O-A product, Matt Waldron, put together a big year as the #1 kicker at Virginia Tech. Waldron made all 58 of his point-after attempts and 20 of his 23 field-goal attempts, with only one of his misses coming within 40 yards. He scored 108 points for the year.
At about 3:40 minutes into this video, you can watch Fisher practice his kicking during half-time of O-A's playoff game at Cal-Mum.
