Stack to make decision by the end of summer

The nation’s No. 1-ranked kicker wants to make his college decision by the end of the summer.

Kamehameha’s Adam Stack, who is rated as the top high school kicker in the country for 2017 by Chris Sailer Kicking, plans on attending a few camps this summer and wants to finish the recruiting process before the start of his senior year.

Stack has been offered by Oregon, Oregon State, Miami, San Diego State and Army and also has a grayshirt offer from Wisconsin.

He expects to participate in summer camps at Oregon and Alabama and will also compete at an event in South Carolina to try to earn a spot in the Army All-America game next year.

“I’ll probably have my decision made before the summer ends,” Stack said. “I’m kind of just letting it all come in and then we’ll look at which school is the best fit and go from there.”

Stack, who is 6-foot-2, grew up playing soccer and didn’t transition to football until his freshman year of high school.

He played on the same club soccer team as Punahou’s Jet Toner, who signed with Stanford earlier this year.

Kickers have always been tough to find in Hawaii but both Toner and Stack represent a new era of quality kickers being produced in the islands.

“I think it’s because the young soccer players here are so good that when they get to the high school age, they realize they can kick a football too,” Stack said. “That’s how me and Jet got started.”

What separates Stack from the other top kickers is he’s also considered one of the best punters in the nation as well.

Here’s an 81-yard punt by Stack at Aloha Stadium in a game against Punahou last year:

Stack went through spring practice at Kamehameha last week under new head coach Abu Maafala and said it was fun to get back out on the field with his high school teammates.

“I liked it because (Maafala) is a real energetic guy,” Stack said. “There was a lot of energy and I think he has a good vision for this upcoming season.”
