Cleveland Cobras Kicker still has eyes on NFL
Cleveland,OH-The Cleveland Cobras get the first 2018 major signing in the Gridiron Developmental Football League ,the Cobras announced they have signed Kresimir Ivkovic, a.k.a Krash of John Carroll University. Ivkovic was one of the most accurate kickers in the nation in 2013, owns the school record for most extra points converted in a season (57) and also owns the record with 20 made field goals. He tied a 23-year old OAC record for most field goals in single season ... Buried multiple field goals in eight of 11 games including career-best four at Ohio Northern ... Went 20-of-24 on field goals. With a career long of 45 yards, the only thing that will concern pro teams is that he had a major injury in his college career. That being said, Ivkovic has shown enough to warrant consideration as a next level professional athlete.Owner/GM Jesse Caldwell stated, "If we had him in 2015.....we would have been league champs"!!!
“I can’t live my life knowing that I didn’t pursue it, that I didn’t at least try,” said Ivkovic, a Lake Catholic graduate and native of Euclid. “I at least want to know.”
