Well boom, he just won the Lou Groza award as the best kicker in America. And he has another year of eligibility if he chooses.
Has PFF highest kicker rating in their history spanning several years.
As a fan and I’m sure fans of all teams can testify - we have all at one time closed our eyes when a kicker needs it - and have all moaned when they missed. For once in my lifetime a kicker on my team made them. Rare
Congrats Tate!

A good time to bring back this story of Tate Sandell sneaking onto his high school's field in the middle of the night to practice his kicking and his grandmother buying flood lights so he could see.

Very accurate kicker. Not a strong leg. Won’t make it to the league

My son's high school kicker hit 55 all day in high school.
He doesn't even see the field at LSU
You need a LEG to be a pro kicker man.

A lot of kickers can. It's can they do it in a game under pressure?
Speaking of LSU, Damian Ramos was 2-4 from 50+ with a long of 52. Only made one from 50 his previous three years. Good inside of 40's but there is a questionable leg strength. LSU should snap up that legendary HS kicker that plays with your son.

Shorts are designed as shorts. He wore pants but ripped them pregame. So he took a scissors and cut them shorter. Still pants just short pants lol.
He’s a very grounded kid yet not afraid of the big moments and limelight. If not mistaken his dad played for Dallas and his mom was a Cowboys cheerleader and model.

I already told you he can't sniff the field at LSU. And this kid won't sniff the field in the NFL.
It's unfortunate OU has to brag about a kicker. But most college kickers can hit 55, buddy,

Would also be the second-best rated kicker in the NFL over 50+.

We can brag about being in the playoff, unlike LSU.
We can brag about not losing to Alabama the past two years, unlike LSU.

How many NFL Kickers make 60+ yard field goals all day long?? Show me the metrics in the pros that kicking 55+ won’t cut it in the NFL. Stupid asses!

Are special teams response threads a thing? If so, UGA’s Ray Guy hype incoming

Nobody can touch the greatness that was Ray Guy. Only punter ever selected in the first round of the draft.
There was another a few years earlier, but he was a punter and kicker.

He should autograph a picture of him in the pants and send it to Kirk Herbstreet
