More About Coach Paul
For the past 15 years, James Paul has coached kicking and punting in Central Arkansas and has proven his success by training over 30 kickers and punters, many of those receiving state honors as well as national recognition.
Paul is originally from Dallas, TX but later moved to Jacksonville, AR. He attended Jacksonville High School where he earned All-State honors in two consecutive seasons as both a kicker and punter.
He played his college ball at the University of Central Arkansas. As a Bear, Paul earned All-Conference honors as both a punting and kicking specialist while starting all four years. He broke several UCA records which include, most consecutive extra points (64), highest career extra point percentage (97%), highest punt average in a game (56.3 yards), and longest punt (81 yards). He is also tied for fifth in career scoring, third in punt average (41.3 yards), and also kicked the third-longest punt (76 yards). Several of these records were later broken by one of Paul’s students and fellow Bear, Hayden Ray.
Before focusing on coaching, Paul played three years of Arena Football in the af2 with the Philadelphia Soul (2011) Peoria Pirates (2009), and the Arkansas Twisters (2008).
