Top kicker Kyle Lemmermann sorting through his options, including TTU
Southlake Carroll kicker Kyle Lemmermann, the No. 1 ranked kicker in the country per Chris Sailer Kicking, has seen his recruitment take off to match his ranking.
Entering 2023 with a single offer from UTSA, Lemmermann has since picked up additional offers from Texas Tech, Baylor and TCU.
Lemmermann was at the Jones for Texas Tech's double overtime win over Houston back in September 2022, returned for Junior Day in early March 2023, and was once again on campus this week to take in a spring football practice.
RedRaiderSports caught up with Lemmermann to discuss his recruitment and where Tech fits in.

Texas Tech spring practice visit: "It was great. The coaches are awesome. Had lots of fun (catching back up with the staff). We talk about once a week. I was able to spend a lot of time with the other specialists during practice. It’s a really good group."
Official visit plans: "I have set an official visit to Tech in June. We marked that date when I received the offer. I have not set an official visit to any other program."
Decision timeline: "I plan to commit at the beginning of summer or just before. I want to focus on kicking and getting better this summer rather than traveling to visit schools. Plus I want to be fair to the schools that offer so they can get more specialists to their camps. They have been great to me so I want to do the same for them."
