Sure, there have been female kickers who have gotten into football games, but watching a 5-foot-9-inch, 300-pound girl play offensive line is a different story. Holley Mangold said she never considered kicking (no surprise given her brother is Jets center Nick Mangold), and offered apologizes to Jets starter Mike Nugent when asked why she decided to become a lineman. "When anybody talks about being a kicker, no offense to Nugent, but I've always thought kickers were not really part of it," she said. When Holley, 16, makes it onto the field this year at Archbishop Alter High in Kettering, Ohio, she will become the first girl in Ohio high school history to take a snap from scrimmage in a varsity game. Holley also has set the AAU girls record for squat lifting at 525 pounds.
