"He's a weapon," he said. "Man, I'd like to have him." - Huntingdon head coach Mike Mansfield (Dresden Enterprise, August 18, 2004)

The Lions have an extra offensive weapon in their arsenal in the person of talented senior place-kicker Ryan Nanney (Weakley County Press, August 18, 2005)

He's dangerous on field goals from 55 yards and in and his kickoffs keep opposing offenses pinned deep in their own territory (Weakley County Press, August 18, 2005)

"Ryan is right up there when compared to other kickers in West Tennessee," says Coach Craig Rogers (On The Ball magazine, October Issue)
