Gardner-Webb's Untapped 2018 Kicking Gem with Elite Leg Strength
John 'Crimmins' Hankinson III, a 6'0", 185-lb kicker/punter from the class of 2018, showcased booming power on kickoffs for Gardner-Webb in 2018, landing 19-of-38 deep into or out of the end zone for touchbacks while drilling 6-of-8 field goals, including 41- and 40-yarders against top foes. A two-way high school standout from Aquinas (GA) with wrestling grit, his raw leg talent and accuracy differentiator make him a special teams weapon—ideal for teams needing a reliable, high-intensity punter/kicker who thrives under pressure, though limited recent data suggests monitoring for pro potential.
