High School kicker nails 61 yard Field goal
 

This kid is from the high school I went too. I think after this video gets around he is going to have a lot of schools taking a look at him.

Wow. Just Wow. Good for him.

that's impressive since there is NFL kickers who cant hit from 60. Hope he can find a college somewhere

Maybe Detroit can give him a call real quick.

Was thinking the same thing, haha.

A Vermont High Schooler set the state record with a 57 yard field goal this year. And it didn't barely squeak over the bar, it had [I]plenty[/I] of room to spare. Quick guesstimate of mine had it at about 27 feet in the air when it sailed completely over the uprights.

Very impressive for a high school kicker. I remember in high school we had a kicker who could consistently make 30-40 yarders. It was such an advantage.

I've watched high school games where a 25 yarder was a finger crosser. Even with the extra five feet of width, they are inconsistent.

One thing FSU has done right over the last 17 years is assess and sign quality high school kickers. Prior to that, kickers were found through open tryouts.

This happened a couple years ago here in Spokane:

Kid must have ate his Hormel Rev Wrap that day:

Looks like the official was pumped it went through! He couldn't wait to be on ESPN!

Awesome achievement, but don't forget that high school kickers kick off a tee which is definitely an advantage. Still impressive though.
