Here's some pics I took of Budzien at the Kohl's Kicking National Showcase in Houston, TX over the weekend. He did very well and showed his skills in front of a number of college coaches.

Thanks a lot Marlins. Great Pics. Wisconsin is a specialist powerhouse That includes long snappers.

Budzien received his first scholarship offer from Army this past Monday.

Thanks, Marlins. The month of May is very early to offer a kicker, so he is probably among the top in the nation. Although, I have a question about the Army's recruiting. Are they being much more liberal with their football offers now, seeing as though we are in the midst of an extremely unpopular war, so it's becoming more and more difficult to attract kids period?

Ole Miss' interest is fading, however LSU's is picking up. He's received a handwritten letter from the national champs and is sent mail almost daily. Budzien feels like many schools are on the verge of offering. He's open to everyone who is open to him.

From the Minnesota site...talks about camping at Minnesota and hoping he did well enough to garner an offer. Also camped at Wisconsin and will head to Michigan, Michigan State and Northwestern.
