Well, lemme tell ya ’bout this fella, Kriston Esnard, who’s been kickin’ that ol’ football real far and good. Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s all about the fancy stuff and all them college things, but this fella’s got somethin’ special when it comes to that football. Y’see, back in 2021, Kriston sure showed what he’s made of. He wasn’t playin’ every single game, but when he got his chance, he didn’t waste it. He kicked off three times, and that ol’ football flew a long way, 145 yards to be exact, with one touchback in the mix. Not bad at all, I reckon.
Now, you might be wonderin’ where he came from, well, this young man’s from Decatur, Georgia, and he started makin’ a name for himself as a kicker with them Tulane Green Wave folks. They say the ball practically explodes when he kicks it—now that’s a mighty strong leg right there. Ain’t too many folks who can do that, I tell ya. But, I heard tell, he’s had his struggles too, like most folks do. Sometimes, that football don’t always go where it’s supposed to. Sometimes it acts like shrapnel, just goin’ all sorts of ways. But, that don’t stop him. He keeps kickin’, keeps practicin’, and he’s bound to get better with time.
One thing that sticks out about Kriston is his drive. He didn’t just settle for what he had. Oh no, sir. He made sure to get better every single day. 2021 mighta been his year to show up, but he ain’t done yet. As a matter of fact, he kept goin’ and enrollin’ with the UCF Knights, tryin’ to make his name even bigger. Now, he’s gettin’ ready to shine for them Knights. Folks have been keepin’ an eye on him, especially when he started showin’ up on them college football pages. He’s a kicker, sure, but that don’t mean he ain’t important. Them big ol’ kicks he makes, they count just as much as any other play out there on the field.
Kriston’s story is a bit like one of them underdog tales. You know, the kind where you got a fella who’s not always in the spotlight, but when he gets the chance, he don’t let it slip away. And sure, some might say a kicker ain’t the star of the show, but let me tell ya, them field goals and kickoffs mean somethin’—a whole lot, in fact. Without folks like Kriston, them touchdowns and fancy plays wouldn’t mean a thing. You need someone who can put that ball in the right place, every time. And he’s workin’ his tail off to make sure he does just that.
Now, I reckon y’all might be thinkin’ that kickin’ footballs don’t require much skill, but y’all be wrong. It takes more than just strength, it takes accuracy and patience too. Kriston might’ve had his bumps along the way, but he sure ain’t afraid to put in the work to get it right. He’s the kind of fella who’ll get up early, practice, and keep pushin’, no matter how tough it gets.
As he heads into 2023, Kriston’s lookin’ forward to more opportunities to prove himself with them UCF Knights. Ain’t no tellin’ what he’ll accomplish next, but one thing’s for sure, folks will be watchin’. And whether or not he’s the most famous player out there, he’s got a job to do, and by all accounts, he’s doin’ it well.
