Off a tee in practice. Not that impressed.

Mr. Belding

1/20/18 12:22pm

You kick it that far

Cougar TD

1/20/18 12:23pm

okay you try that then.

molodyets

1/20/18 12:24pm

Still impressive.

Tee? Looks like it was on the grass to me

Fetchin Fetcher

1/20/18 12:27pm

This. No tee.

fredgarvin

LOL. Okay.

Wedgetail

Uhhhh...that’s impressive any which way you look at it

zerome4sooners

1/20/18 5:55pm

Hmm, OK.

No tee genius

Looks promising, but I'd like to see his 5 kicks before and after ....

BluesBrother

1/20/18 12:31pm

His reaction is...

BYU4eVeR

1/20/18 12:37pm

Plus, the people around him look like they've seen him do this before.

BluesBrother

1/20/18 12:42pm

Agreed, it’s better than what we’ve had the past few years

When I took matt gay to Utah state he kicked and hit the 2nd floor windows

travelcoug

1/20/18 2:02pm

He has the Jimmer style reaction down.

Tsisquan

1/20/18 4:11pm

He only takes one step with his kicking foot before the kick. I've never paid much attention to

After Justin Sorensen, I'm not buying any kicker hype.

fredgarvin

1/20/18 1:44pm

The thing about Justin is that they still thought he was the greatest thing even

travelcoug

1/20/18 2:07pm

I’ll just leave this right here...

The holder let go of the ball and it was falling down. That was on the holder.

zonacougar

1/20/18 4:12pm

Yup

HootnHoller

1/20/18 4:34pm

Okay, okay, so maybe it was on the holder. I just remember the hype of Sorensen

cougarblue28

1/20/18 9:49pm

He deserved every bit of that hype

shakarocks

1/20/18 4:27pm

Fine. Whether it was 6 years of injuries or bad karma from being unicycle guy,

fredgarvin

1/20/18 8:20pm

He'll forget how to kick on his mission.

Hope he doesn't turn to mush once he get to BYU like others.

I think for most kickers, it's not physically kicking it 50 or 60 yards that's

Martin Van Nostrand

1/20/18 3:23pm

to be fair his trajectory in this clip are great.

Mayor of Cougartown

1/20/18 4:16pm

Absolutely NO UNICYCLES!

grosven

1/20/18 3:25pm

Impress me with stats. I wanna see in-game from distance percentage

canofpicante

1/20/18 3:55pm

That was more like a kick-off, with the run up to the boot

HootnHoller

1/20/18 4:33pm

Ya, looked like an extra step. No?

boogers

1/20/18 5:41pm

Whats the kid supposed to do? 1 step it? It's the correct FG run up.

bYu_0

1/20/18 6:42pm

I dunno. Looked like 4 steps. I think normal run up is 3. Still impressive.

boogers

1/20/18 6:46pm

Nope, watched it again. Only 3 steps.

boogers

1/20/18 6:47pm

A field goat is 2 steps....step, plant--kick.

HootnHoller

1/20/18 7:33pm

On long ones most kickers take an extra "jab" step

boogers

1/20/18 7:42pm

Here's Janikowski's 63 yarder--2 step

HootnHoller

1/20/18 9:06pm

Most take 2 and a half. 1/2 step as rhythm step, middle step, plant...kick.

bYu_0

1/20/18 9:14pm

Janakowski has feet together and forward lean instead.

bYu_0

1/20/18 9:15pm

another example: Gostkowski takes 2 steps, but with a staggered 1/2 step start

boogers

1/21/18 7:34am

Our luck is such that he will never be able to do this

ArchbishopMitty

1/21/18 2:12am

I'd bet a large sum of money that he won't be able to

fredetteaboutit13

1/21/18 6:58am

Seems like a pretty good wind at his back

kapcreations

BYU has 2 kickers commited as PWO
