College Football Career

Robert was a four-year letterman from 2008-2012 at Texas Southern University.
He began his career as the starting kicker, earning several Special Teams Player of the Week awards for the conference in his career.

In 2012, by the opening game versus Prairie View A&M, Texas Southern had a six-year losing streak. That changed with a 47-yard game-winning field goal coming from Robert. Later on that season, he came in clutch with a 32-yarder to beat Grambling State. After the 2012 season, he was named as a punter in the second team all-conference and the 2012 HBCU all-star game.

Going into his senior year, he became the starting punter. After his senior year, Robert was 7-10 on field goals and had a 41.3 yard average on punts. He graduated from Texas Southern University in May 2013.

Postcollege Career

Jonathan Hersh

Coach Jonathan Hersh is completing his third year with La Marque following coaching and teaching stops at three previous schools. Coach Hersh was a kicker for three years for the Austin College Kangaroos (Sherman, TX) where he earned a BA degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Teaching.

Following graduation, Coach was a graduate assistant for the Kangaroo football team. Coach Hersh played his high school football for the Pearland Oilers and Alan B. Shephard (Il) High Schools. For a decade, Coach Hersh ran the Hersh Brothers Kicking Camps with his brother, Coach Robert Hersh and have several graduates who have gone on to have successful college kicking careers. Little known fact about Coach Hersh. He did not have an interest in football as he was a budding soccer star. Prior to the start of 8^th grade football, the school coach pulled the future Coach Hersh aside and told him he was playing football that season and would not take no for an answer!

Coach Hersh went on that season to surprise everyone with his achievements as a running back and realized his future would be in football! In high school the coaches needed kickers and with his soccer experience they converted Coach into a kicker and punter. And as we say…the rest is history!
