syracusehorn Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 For a HS kicker, he's got a great swing. Tons of potential. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 This got me wondering about the longest field goals in HS. The national record is 68 yards by a kid in Nevada in 1985, The Texas record is 67 by Russell Cowsert of Dallas Christian in 1987. There have been 27 FG's over 60 yards, 5 of them on free kicks after fair catches. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watty7796 Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 (edited) If the kid can punt and kick it would save a spot on the travel team. Edited April 5, 2024 by watty7796 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory may be faulty, but I thought a Newman Smith kicker (my alma mater) kicked a 60 yard FG against LD Bell in the playoffs in the early 80's. He got a scholly to Mizzou. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This local kid has excellent potential and am glad he chose Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarveaux Posted April 7, 2024 Share Posted April 7, 2024 If Barnett kicked a 59 yard FG in High School isn’t it reasonable to believe with improved leg strength & more practice that he could kick 61 yards or perhaps even better in college.🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
