The article also mentions this:
“The all-time American high school field goal record of 68 yards was set in 1985.”

Anybody remember who that (brief) former Tennessee Vol was?

Dirk Borgogone - was the answer from my Michigan friend who cheated and looked it up.

Id rather have a WR who can catch balls thrown to him. If we had a WR that could catch, a ball, thrown in his general area. We beat Florida.

Yes, we were excited to get the #1 kicker in the nation that year and who would presumably replace Fuad Reveiz. (I graduated HS and entered college that same year.) Of course, he transferred out after a year.

Dirk Borgognone - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"Borgognone's college career, however, was derailed by a 1988 change to the NCAA rule books that banned kicking off tees for field goal attempts. This not only reduced the general range for field goals (the record off a tee was 67 yards, without, only 65), but Borgognone had always kicked off a tee and was unprepared for the rule change. Borgognone left college early, to pursue an NFL career as a kickoff specialist."

"Borgognone struggled to make the National Football League. He spent years bouncing between NFL training camps, mainly as a kickoff specialist (the NFL had prohibited the use of kicking tees for field goals and extra points for a decade). "

You should ask @Mose Phillip's Watch how to get in touch with UT's coaching staff so you can give them a clue.

That's a really nice kick! However, Cheyenne Wyoming is at 6,062 ft which is obviously higher than Denver's mile high (5280 for those who don't know).

FGs sail longer at elevation, but I would say that 61-yard kick is good for 55 yards at Neyland.

should drive on over to Avon/Vail. And have ye a couple o'pints. Then! When all world is watching, try to kick a fg. Would be a great social experiment.

We used to always be in the running to get the player considered the top kicker and punters in high school. That seemed to have changed after Fulmer was let go.
