Entering his fourth season as a South Carolina Gamecock is former Scouts football player Kai Kroeger.

As a junior in 2022, Kroeger earned first team All-American honors by ESPN and The Athletic. He shares the 2023 President’s Outstanding Student-Athlete Award at South Carolina.

Scouts Football Newsletter publisher Jon Kerr interviewed Kroeger during the Gamecocks’ bye week.

Topics discussed:

* How he’s gotten better as a punter in 2023

* The importance of strength training and nutrition for college athletes

* How he’s used name, image and likeness legislation to grow his brand

* NFL ambitions and how he goes through the decision-making process

* How the Lake Forest Scouts program helped shape his college career

Hope you enjoy this conversation Kai. I know I did.

You can watch Kai and the South Carolina Gamecocks play Florida Saturday at 2:30 pm on the SEC Network.
