Booter McGavin has had a mixed transition from his time in college to the pros. One would think that for a player that just kicks the ball, nothing should change but that just simply is not true. The balls in this league are bigger, your holder and long snapper are different and the real difference is the level of pressure on kickers. For Booter McGavin punting has not been a problem in the ISFL. He is averaging nearly 50 yards a punt in his career and is doing an excellent job of pinning his opponents deep. However, Booter has also been one of the worst kickers in the league in terms of field goal percentage. It is clear the pressure of kicking in the league has gotten to the player as he wants to blame everyone but himself. Coaches, teammates and the weather have all been blamed so far but the real reason is Booter is in his own head. Hopefully he can improve his accuracy moving foward.
