One On One Kicking Welcomes New Snapping Coach

Attention All Snappers .... Make sure you are at the Atlanta training session on Sunday. We have a new snapping coach. Former Georgia Bulldog, Ty Frix. Any kicker and punter can bring their snapper or a snapper that they know of for a FREE session this Sunday !!

Here is a little background on Ty Frix .....

Ty graduated a semester early from high school and walked onto the University of Georgia Football Team in 2008. After redshirting that year, he took over as the starting longsnapper and served as such from 2009-2012. He started all 54 consecutive games of his career, more than any other player in UGA history, and played on two SEC Eastern Division Championship teams. As a senior he was voted Special Team’s Captain by his teammates.

During his time on the field, Ty was a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll every year. He was awarded the Iron Man Award for never missing a workout, class or practice 3 out of 5 years. He was given the Victor’s Club distinction every year for outstanding performance on the field. He was also the recipient of the Dick Copas Leadership Award, Joel Eaves Scholar Athlete Award, Peach of an Athlete Award, and was featured as a UGA Amazing Student. One of his highest honors was being chosen as an Academic All-American his senior year.



Ty was awarded a scholarship after his Sophomore season, graduated in Bio-Medical Engineering after his Junior season, and began his Master’s of Business Administration as a Senior. He is now in his last year of his Master’s degree at UGA.



Ty graduated from Calhoun High School in 2008 where he was the Senior Class President, Valedictorian, and Captain of the Football Team. He is also a Licensed Private Pilot and a certified Scuba Diver.
