Sylacauga Football's Adair named National Punter of the Week

SYLACAUGA, Ala. — Sylacauga junior Anderson Adair has earned national recognition following a standout performance on special teams for the Aggies. Adair was named the KT Recruiting National High School Punter of the Week after his impressive showing against Jacksonville.

In the game, Adair punted five times for a total of 243. 5 yards, averaging 48. 7 yards per punt. Notably, he placed two of his punts inside the Jacksonville 20-yard line, including a remarkable 65-yard punt that was downed at the Jacksonville 1-yard line.

His performance garnered the attention of KT Recruiting, a national platform dedicated to specialists and specialist recruiting, which promotes rankings, player profiles, and weekly recognition for kickers, punters, and long snappers.

The 6-foot-1, 160-pound junior handles both kicking and punting duties for Sylacauga and is recognized as a Kohl's Kicking-verified specialist. His RecruitOS profile lists him as a Class of 2028 kicker/punter, and he has been evaluated at several national and regional events by Kohl's.

At the 2026 Kohl's National Scholarship Camp, Adair showcased his skills across all three specialist disciplines — field goals, kickoffs, and punting. He previously charted a 47-yard punt with 4. 4 seconds of hang time at the 2025 National Scholarship Camp, indicating his continued development as a punter.

Through four games this season, Adair has maintained a 43.46-yard punting average for Sylacauga. His performance against Jacksonville elevated that average significantly, demonstrating his ability to impact the game positively.

Being selected as KT Recruiting's National High School Punter of the Week adds another accomplishment to Adair's growing résumé, placing a Sylacauga specialist in the national spotlight as he continues to develop his skills with nearly two full high school seasons ahead.
