San Pedro's Dylan Moreno kicking his way to legendary status
Ninth and final in a series of stories profiling top high school football players by position. Today, Dylan Moreno, San Pedro kicker. San Pedro football coach Corey Walsh remembers the first time seeing Dylan Moreno show up on campus as a freshman. 'He came here as a scrawny kicker at 100 pounds,' Walsh said. Walking around campus, Moreno almost lived a secret life. No one would have dared to think he was a football player. 'Nah,' Moreno said. 'They're going to think I'm a regular student.' By his sophomore season, Moreno was closing in on 130 pounds and making clutch field goals. He made a 38-yard field goal with 12 seconds left in regulation to tie the score against Carson. He made field goals from 27 and 32 yards against Banning in an overtime win at the Coliseum. He made seven of nine on field goals and 45 of 47 on PATs en route to an All-City season. His focus this offseason has been on gaining strength and weight. He lifts alongside linemen and earns respect. 'You should see him in the weight room,' Walsh said. 'Tiny guy who works hard.' It should come as no surprise that the 5-foot-7 Moreno is gaining attention in the San Pedro community. His father, Wilmer, who made a 28-yard field goal for the Pirates in the 1997 City championship game against Taft at the Coliseum, has been telling San Pedro coaches for years about his son's coming arrival. Mike Walsh, the former San Pedro head coach and the father of Corey Walsh, said Wilmer bragged, 'This kid is going to be good.' Since fifth grade, Dylan and his father have been going to San Pedro to practice kicking. 'My dad took me to San Pedro because he always wanted me to be a kicker.,' Dylan said. 'I was a soccer player. I liked playing football because it was something new. Ever since, I fell in love with the game." His challenge has been increasing his strength to be able to power the football into the end zone on kickoffs, forcing a touchback. Otherwise, Moreno might have to make a tackle. He says he's ready. 'I'm not scared when I see people on the field,' he said. 'I just have to do what I got to do. If he's there, I have to tackle him. I'm ready for that.' One of Moreno's strengths so far has been thriving in pressure situations, earning the trust of his coach. 'His accuracy has been amazing,' Walsh said. Said Moreno: "Kicking is mostly 70% mental and 30% physical. You have to be focused on what you're doing. Of course, you're going to get butterflies in your stomach, but I feel I can control it. I don't really think about how far to kick it. I just kick the ball.'

Now it's up to Moreno to make himself look good going into his junior season. 'I've been grinding my butt off to prove that,' Moreno said. 'I want to come off a legend at the school.'

YouTube Unveils Broadcasters For Platform's First-Ever Live NFL Game
On Tuesday, YouTube announced the broadcast talent for its first-ever live NFL game. The Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs will meet at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil on Sept. 5. Sports media veteran Rich Eisen, who is expected to once again appear on ESPN platforms following the company's recent acquisition of NFL Network, will serve as the play by play caller for the Week 1 matchup. It's the NFL's second consecutive year playing a regular season game in Brazil. Eisen will be joined by analyst and Super Bowl XXXIV champion Kurt Warner. Stacey Dales and YouTuber Donald De La Haye, who is also known as Deestroying, will both serve as sideline reporters for the free exclusive broadcast on the video platform, which has experienced a rise in recent years as a sports programming destination for media networks, leagues and teams. Deestroying, a former player at Central Florida, boasts more than 6.3 million subscribers on YouTube where he's documented his journey of trying to become an NFL kicker. He played for the UFL's San Antonio Brahmas over the last two seasons but was plagued by recurring injuries. Rules expert Terry McAulay will also join the YouTube broadcast. Meanwhile, sports media personality Kay Adams, who hosts the daily 'Up & Adams Show' on FanDuel TV, will host the on-site show in Brazil with Heisman Trophy winner and analyst Cam Newton, a three-time Pro Bowler and NFL Most Valuable Player in 2015. At the NFL Network's studios in Los Angeles, Brandon Marshall — a six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver across 13 seasons in the NFL — will moderate the conversation around the game in South America. He will be joined by analysts Derek Carr, who retired in May after an 11-year career mostly with the Las Vegas Raiders, and Tyrann Mathieu, a former standout defensive back at LSU and Super Bowl champion. Fantasy football analyst Peter Overzet will also provide commentary and analysis for the regular season game, which will feature Colombia singer Karol G as the halftime performer during the first-ever live NFL game on YouTube.
