Got our Kicker
- Thread starter cubsker

That's awesome, love seeing local guys all N!
Kick ass. Heard his interview on 1620 after the State championship. Most interviews of college and highschool kids are cringe, but he did a great job and was impressive. Good for him, and good for NU.
I have my fingers crossed, but this staff seems to be quietly putting together a good high school class between keeping what we had and some new guys, and will hopefully do well in the portal.
Love the pic in the 94 jersey as a kid! We need kids like this here. Already a legend due to his state title game. Now, get Bennings kid here and maybe thow Zane Flores in as well why dont ya?
All Right All Right All Right!
May he blow plenty of kisses to the sqhawks fan base!

If he continues to play like he did in that championship game we will all be very happy he's N.
Mike Coyle, Dale Klein, Gregg Barrios, Alex Henery, Brett Maher, Sam Koch, Jesse Kosch, etc.
Great native Nebraskan placekickers and punters. I'm sure I'm missing several. Who you got?

Here's what Alvano said:
"Just the relationship with the new staff really helped," Alvano said. "I think Coach Foley is a great recruiter ... and just the fact that we have a great relationship on the short time he's been on the job ... He's a good man. And I think Coach Rhule is a huge people's person. Really big on development, which as a recruit is huge to hear. A big selling point. All the people down there, all the assistant coaches, the personnel – they're just all great people. And they're very genuine. I think that's big and it really sold me and my parents when we were down there."

If he's even as good as he was in high school, we've got a great kicker. Lots of close games in the BIG. Huge get.
Hopefully we can pull some OL and DL prospects out of our hat late.

Boggles my mind to think many fans believed in frost when our kicker joined midway through the season from the club soccer team. Rhule gets it
How can you ever forget about Paul Rogers?
51 yard FG with 0:27 seconds Beating Wyoming in the 1968 season opener..
Never knew where he actually was from, but with out question the first best kicker in Nebraska football history..
Back in those days most of the best in state Io_ay players went to Nebraska just like Van Brownson who’s from Shenandoah..
Bill Bomberger from Columbus? Rich Sanger from Ovid, Colo., which might as well be western Nebraska?
Bobby Reynolds was a pretty good kicker, but much better running back. From G.I.
Dave Schneider? Plattsmouth kid who was the 1984 starter until missing an XP at Missouri and being replaced by Scott Livingston from California. Dave had a nice FG vs Penn State in the Kickoff Classic.
Sutton's own Scott Gemar was the punter in 1980. Great practice kicker. Games not so much. Choked big time against Oklahoma that year
