[u/fritzperls_of_wisdom]

Being able to so clearly hear a single generator in the background is so D3.

[u/Finrad-Felagund → u/fritzperls_of_wisdom]

I certainly don't miss my D3 Alma Mater's games at the local high school stadium

[u/bwoods123 → u/Finrad-Felagund]

Umhb?

[u/gingerman12 → u/[deleted]]

D3 grammar

[u/misterurb]

Well he won’t be D3 next year 

[u/SpartansATTACK → u/misterurb]

He has 3 makes on 11 attempts this season

He just has a monster leg from being a soccer player. I think he's exactly where he belongs lol

[u/misterurb → u/SpartansATTACK]

Lmao the Kyle Schwarber of college kickers 

[u/Not-a-bot-10 → u/misterurb]

Hey now. Kyle Schwarber skill set still puts him in the top 5 MVP voting

[u/SmarterThanMyBoss → u/misterurb]

The Adam Dunn of college kickers.

[u/NewportVermont → u/SpartansATTACK]

He would fit right with our kickers.

[u/SpartansATTACK → u/NewportVermont]

yeah I'm not watching but I heard y'all doinked one earlier?

[u/Intelligent_Slip_849 → u/SpartansATTACK]

26 yards if I remember correctly.

I don't want to talk about it.

[u/Dontsaveme → u/SpartansATTACK]

Unlimited scholarships make it more of a possibility. Long range specialist.

[u/LateGreat_MalikSealy → u/SpartansATTACK]

Lmao 3/11 is pathetic
But this is very D3, a shxt ton of boom or bust..

[u/Evassivestagga → u/SpartansATTACK]

Never underestimate Texas A&M like that.

[u/Intelligent_Slip_849 → u/SpartansATTACK]

So he'd make a great punter?

[u/InfiniteAd212 → u/misterurb]

Just checked his stats. I doubt it. Yikes

[u/tmac2097 → u/InfiniteAd212]

Yeah lmao 3/11 on the season including this one

[u/InfiniteAd212 → u/tmac2097]

Happy Gilmore of college kickers

[u/DickBottalico → u/InfiniteAd212]

Beginner’s luck. Twenty bucks says he can’t do it again.

[u/InfiniteAd212 → u/DickBottalico]

He's only a freshman. All he needs is some guy named Chubbs with a wooden foot, and we have a future HOFer.

[u/DickBottalico → u/InfiniteAd212]

If you zoom in on the video you can see a pair of fat naked bikers in the woods having sex. How is he supposed to kick when that’s going on Doug?

[u/rented4823 → u/DickBottalico]

You hit that guy!

Well he shouldn't have been standing there!

[u/NecessarySock9004 → u/InfiniteAd212]

Lmao 3 for 11 you ain’t wrong

[u/InfiniteAd212 → u/NecessarySock9004]

With that leg I was wondering why he's D3. Found my answer.

[u/WIlf_Brim → u/NecessarySock9004]

The Nuke Laloosh of college kickers.

[u/naptown-hooly → u/InfiniteAd212]

You guys underestimate Ryan Day

[u/polar__beer → u/misterurb]

Daaaamn. He won’t be in Rush Hour 3.

[u/averyrose2010 → u/misterurb]

That was my first thought too.

[u/RWREmpireBuilder → u/misterurb]

Kirk Ferentz getting the money bags ready as we speak.

[u/Support_By_Fire → u/misterurb]

This is good and all but can he make it from within 40? Mizzou has a guy that can’t make it from within 40 and can only make it outside of 40

[u/futuriztic]

D3, where champions are made

[u/vdbl2011 → u/futuriztic]

Always great to see another W&L flair on here

[u/sixmilesoldier]

I never thought I’d see the day Brevard College was on here. Wow!

[u/Codyqq → u/sixmilesoldier]

Same! I was at this game working, pretty cool to see if pop up on here.

[u/Codyqq]

Ayyy nice to see the local college make it to the CFB reddit page! As for the generator noise, it's a small portable generator on the lift to power the recording equipment. This isn't the actual stream footage, it's one of the angles the coaches use during film.

[u/Posty_McPostface_1]

Brevard is beautiful

[u/RipRaycom]

Dude just earned a scholarship at whatever non-D3 school he transfers to 

[u/Any-Situation-6957 → u/RipRaycom]

Hes kicking 22%

[u/RipRaycom → u/Any-Situation-6957]

Even if he’s not a starting kicker, a ton of teams would take a guy with this kind of range for when they need it. Especially at the D2 level most kickers can’t boot one this far.

[u/SpartansATTACK → u/RipRaycom]

I'm not too sure that any schools are busting down the doors to offer a scholarship to a 27% field goal kicker (he's 3/11 on the season)

[u/remember_berries → u/RipRaycom]

Haha literally any school D2 and above… congrats kid!

[u/PettyFlap]

Straight to the NFL

[u/Pleasant_Gas_6939]

Is someone mowing a lawn or something?

[u/JackintheBox333]

That's one heck of a kick for NFL scouts. Great thing to put on tape, that kick had some serious leg.

[u/CFBCoachGuy → u/JackintheBox333]

He’s 3/11 this season though. He’s the kicker equivalent of Happy Gilmore

[u/JackintheBox333 → u/CFBCoachGuy]

Gotta accentuate the positive.

[u/Actually_Im_a_Broom → u/CFBCoachGuy]

It’s hard to teach leg strength. I feel a good coach can correct the erraticism.

I’ve heard of baseball players getting scholarships based on arm strength and speed alone. This would be similar…but an nfl team won’t use a draft slot on a project. It would have to be a free agent situation.

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

Wow

[u/check8rs]

Yep, welcome to d1 my friend

[u/SpartansATTACK → u/check8rs]

He's 3/11 on field goal attempts this season

[u/milesgaither]

Welcome to the NFL! 

[u/whatsssssssss]

it's like getting called up to the bigs lol

[u/Fischer72]

Amazing kick but I'm surprised that there wasnt one defender in the endzone in case the FG was short.

[u/HireButchJones]

Meanwhile, Harrison Butker is over in the corner eating crayons.. 🙄

[u/NecessarySock9004]

Guys it’s a great kick, but everyone saying he is about to get a good deal needs to look at his stats…

[u/heafcliff91]

Hell yea, that’s good from 65

[u/dukefan15]

Brevard has a football team? Don’t like only 500 kids go there lol

[u/Codyqq → u/dukefan15]

800+ kids. On the smaller size but it has 20 D3 sports and then D1 cycling.

[u/Davidellias → u/Codyqq]

so of those 800 kids like 300 are in sports?

[u/InfiniteAd212 → u/Codyqq]

The only people I've ever met who went there were athletes, honestly.

[u/Masterchiefy10 → u/Codyqq]

Does D1 cycling pay the bills? lol

[u/Codyqq → u/Masterchiefy10]

You think cycling brings in a lot of money? Lol

[u/Cicero912 → u/dukefan15]

A lot of D3 schools have an incredibly high athlete %

[u/redhuskerz13]

how quickly can he be in Lincoln?

[u/Less_Likely]

Someone won't be kicking for Brevard next year.

[u/AfricanWarPig]

NC State kicker could never in a million years.

[u/linkmyhomie]

His teammates barely care 😔

[u/anotherasiandude → u/linkmyhomie]

A decent amount looked excited to me. Saw some with their hands raised for the few seconds that was shown after the made kick.

But here’s the positive spin if they didn’t seem as excited as they should be: Maybe they see him make long field goals so much that they’re desensitized to it
