Chris Sailer2103 kicking prospects Michael Geiger and Connor Shennan dominated at the Chicago camp.

Long snapping champion

Scott Sypniewski (Ottawa, Ill./Ottawa Marquette, 2013) -- Sypniewski was as good as I have seen him over the past couple of years. His form is impeccable and his drive is just as solid. He has a good frame and is very accurate with his snap.

Top 2012 kicker

Anthony Farinella (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove South) -- Farinella is an incredible talent. The kicker is an outstanding athlete who shows tremendous potential. He has all the tools to be high-major kicker. Hit a kickoff 60-plus yards with 4.15-second hang time into a stiff wind. Anthony is a top prospect in the Midwest and should earn a scholarship.

Top 2012 long snapper

Scott Daly (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove South) -- Daly is a tremendous talent that just continues to grow. The Notre Dame commit never rests on his laurels and simply keeps improving. He has an excellent frame and a smooth snap that gets back their like a rocket.

Top 2013 kicker

Connor Shennan (Plymouth, Mich./Canton) -- Behind champion Michael Geiger, Shennan was the next-best prospect in the class of 2013. He also won two of the four major competitions. He has a big-time leg and shows phenomenal potential. Shennan has a chance to be a scholarship pick with continued hard work.

Top 2014 kicker

Mick Ellis (Allen, Texas/Lovejoy) -- Although I normally don't mention talent this young, Ellis deserves it. He kicked as well as most of the 2012 and 2013 prospects. He is a great athlete and future star in this class.
