Coach Matt Nelson

 

     Coach Matt Nelson is originally from San Antonio, TX. Matt is currently training as a free agent for the NFL as well as helping younger kickers achieve their goals. 

     Matt was a successful place kicker in high school.  While attending Steele High School in Texas, Matt was mentored by 6 year veteran NFL kicker Chris Boniol and made an outstanding 23 field goals in his high school career.  Chris’ mentoring provided critical skills and Matt earned a full scholarship to Louisiana Tech University as a Junior in High School.

     While at Louisiana Tech, Matt’s development and mentoring continued through relationships with 20 year veteran retired NFL kicker Matt Stover and current NFL kicker Josh Scobee.  Matt’s success continued and he became Louisiana Tech's all time leading scorer.

     Since college, Matt has worked out for the New England Patriots in Foxborough, and on his pro day in Ruston with the New Orleans Saints and the San Francisco 49ers. Most recently Matt was invited to work out at the Cleveland Browns Mini Camp in May. Matt continues to work with retired NFL kicker Michael Husted to refine his technique.

     Matt is a highly successful kicker who has been mentored and trained by some of the NFL’s elite all-time Kickers. He looks to pay it forward by mentoring and training young kickers who desire to kick at higher level.
