Seems like college kickers are coming out of soccer programs. It's all about the leg and kicking.

Roby was a punter for the Univ. of Iowa in the early 1980s, and then was a punter in the NFL for 16 seasons.

He kicked off, and was used for some long field goal tries at Iowa. When he was in high school, I saw him kick an extra point that left the stadium, went across a street, and landed on someone’s front porch.

But he just kicks off, as bad as their field goal kicker is that may change.
