LANCASTER - Told you earlier this summer about Penn Manor's Matt Keller, Kohl's Kicking Camps' fifth-raked long-snapper in the country.

Another L-L League football player has cracked a Kohl's list:

Lampeter-Strasburg rising senior Matt Wright is the 29th-ranked kicking prospect in the country.

He had a dynamite 2012 junior season for the Pioneers last fall, connecting on 38-of-40 extra-point attempts and drilling three field goals, including a school-record 47-yard boot.

Wright also connected from 26 and 33 yards, as L-S went 6-5 overall, but was denied a third Section 2 championship in a row.

According to Pioneers' coach John Manion, Wright has received recruiting feelers from Stanford and Rice. And according to his Kohl's Kicking Camps bio, Wright is a "scholarship-type" kicker.

He has competed in Kohl's Camps in New Jersey and Pittsburgh and locally at Manheim Central.
