Milton High just landed the country's top-ranked kicker

Ryan Jung — the Class of 2028's No. 1 ranked place kicker per Kohl's Kicking — announced last week he's transferring from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida to Milton High for the 2026 season. That's a real coup for the Eagles' program.

His 2025 line at IMG was the kind of stat sheet that gets a kid on national lists: 4-of-5 field goals with a long of 46, 50-of-52 extra points, and 36 touchbacks on 66 kickoffs through nine games — meaning more than half of his kickoffs went unreturned. Special teams as a real weapon, not just a phase to survive.

The Eagles finished 2025 at 8–4 and ranked No. 18 in the final Massey Georgia high school football rankings. Adding the best kicker in his class doesn't fix everything, but special teams flip close games — and Milton plays in a region where close games happen a lot. Season opens late August.
