MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Former Alabama State University kicker/punter Bobby Wenzig, has been invited to the Kansas City Chiefs minicamp that will take place at the end of May.

Wenzig is arguably the most decorated football player to have ever put on an ASU uniform. He has been a difference-maker for ASU ever since he transferred to the Hornets following a year at Arizona State. He is a two-time All-America selection as well as a three-time All-Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) pick.

The San Diego, Calif., native finished his career averaging 43 yards per punt.  He was a master of being able to down his punts to pin the opposition next to their own goal line as 68 of his 208 punts were downed inside the 20 yard line.  He also had the ability to punt for distance changing field position for the Hornets defense.  He had 61 punts travel over 50 yards.

Wenzig also handled kick off, field goal and PAT duties for ASU.  He hit 35 field goals during his three years and 69 PAT's.  He finished his career with 204 points becoming only the fourth ASU player to score over 200 points during his career.

"I am very happy to have the opportunity to go to Kansas City and compete at the rookie mini-camp! I am going in there as a combo kicker. It gives me the chance to show that I can do in all aspects of kicking and punting.

Alex Smith is also from San Diego and I look forward to meeting him soon."
