Best I-AA kicker of all time?

[BillLuc1982]

Even though Jeff Wilkins was great, I would have to go with Mackenzie Hoambrecker from UNI. Mr. Automatic to me. The dude was amazing... booting a 59-yard field goal to beat MSU (then SMS). How many people can say that?

Also, he was one of few kickers who could consistently kick extra points over YSU's net.

[ngineer]

I would nominate Scott Christie of William & Mary and who had a stellar career with Buffalo Bills. I saw Christie kick at Goodmanin the late 80's and his extra points went up an onto the entrance plaza beyond the south endzone. Have never seen such quick height and acceleration of a kicked ball since.:nod:

[dbackjon]

Goran Lingmerth from NAU...Hold I-AA record for most FG in one game (8).

[Seven Would Be Nice]

59 yards is very impressive...

gsu's kicker (before being replaced) was 1/3 on the year... making a 22 yarder and missing two others from under 30. he was 6/9 for PATs... xlolx xlolx

Are they having tryouts? I'll go back to college for a second Bachelor's degree! :hurray: :read:

[GSUhooligan]

When you play in a dome you can add 10 yards to a guy's average distance. That would be like making a 49 yard FG outside. Still impressive, but not as much. I'm too young to know, but apparently some guy for GSU hit a really long FG in an important game. I dont know the details, I just remember hearing the clip over the P.A. during practices when they are trying to simulate crowd noise.

Even more distance than outside with the wind? I've kicked a lot. With no wind, my range is about 52 yards. Add or subtract some yards for wind (depending on the direction).

So you've worked practices? I was an equipment manager at YSU during my freshman and sophomore years.

I heard a rumor that they did have open tryouts.. but I think they just played a sophomore in place of our senior kicker.

Mackenzie Hoambrecker hit a 50+ yarder outdoors many times, including in a multiple OT game at Cal Poly.

Kirk Roach, WCU

#14 - Kirk Roach (1984-87)

The most honored player in WCU's football history and a member of the Southern Conference's 75th Anniversary Football Team. He is WCU's and the Southern Conference's only three time All American Selection (1984, 1986, 1987) and one of only three conference players to be named All Southern Conference four times (1984-87). At induction he owned 10 Southern Conference, 18 WCU and five NCAA I-AA kicking records. He kicked 71 field goals including 11 of 50 or more yards and accounted for 302 points. He missed only one extra point attempt in four seasons. His jersey was retired on Sept. 30, 2006.

[lucchesicourt]

texcap, your right without a doubt. I forgot about him, Sorry, SDSU fans!!

[nmatsen]

Mackenzie Hoambrecker hit a 50+ yarder outdoors many times, including in a multiple OT game at Cal Poly.

For the record he kicked a 57 yard game tying field goal at the end of regulation at Cal-Poly that year, no wind whatsoever. He went on to kick a 52 yarder in the other direction to win it in overtime. Don't ask me how he kicked a 52 yarder in overtime, I think we had a couple of penalties. He was overall 25 of 28 that year with TWO blocks! The year before he made kicks to win games at Ball State to defeat a I-A school as time expired and then a huge kick at Western Kentucky to win the conference title, again as time expired. No pressure there right?

That is the biggest bunch of hogwash ever written. The ball flies just as far if not farther in calm conditions outside in natural air than inside in the dome. The dome is an advantage for kickers if the weather would be poor without a doubt but as far as the ball flying 10 yards farther in a dome that is just in-accurate.

[Bronco]

[nmatsen]

Jan Stenerud...Montana State
NFL Hall of Fame


and a fantastic man, Jan went to Montana State on a Ski-Jumping Scholarship. He only played one year of college football and was drafted on leg strength alone. His college career was a little less to be desired. I think he was around 60%. One note, he is the only pure kicker in the NFL hall of fame. Good thing ole' Hank Stram took a chance on him.

[JMU2K_DukeDawg]

What?! No mention of the notorious Scott Norwood??!! :o

:bang:

[lucchesicourt]

Jan, I understand missed a very important kick in his career. It was only 103 yards. I believe he was a little short and too the left. That alone should remove him from any consideration.

[BillLuc1982]

Adam is a no-brainer; however, SDSU was DII back then and not even close to I-AA. I thought about him when I was driving back from my lunch break and knew someone would mention him!

Was he the greatest kicker in college or in the NFL? I run into this a lot with Kurt Warner. Is Kurt Warner the greatest I-AA QB of all time? Are we looking at everything? Just college? Just NFL? Both? If it is just college than no.

[BillLuc1982]

Just college

[FlyYtown]

Ya I am 100% Behind Jeff Wilkins..
He is 446 for 449 on extra points in his 13 years in the NFL..... That is 99.3%!!

That UNI kicker was good though....

He booted that HUGE Kick to be Villanova in 1991 at Home which sent us to Reno for the Wolfpack.. And I will never forget it, their kicker, a lefty, boots the very short field goal, which was about 30 yards from the right to left hash.. and PUSHED IT LEFT...

That lead us to the title I think, or a home game we won which sent us to the statesboro .and the big win..

[BillLuc1982]

FlyYTown:

We then beat Samford 10-0 before advancing to Statesboro to play Marshall.

[Go...gate]

Al Yunkus of Bucknell was pretty good in the early 1980's, as was Dean Biasucci of Western Carolina. There is also something of a divide here, as the 2" place-kicking rubber "block tee" was outlawed after the 1988 season. Steve Christie of W & M excelled both with and without the block tee.

Colgate has had few good placekickers or punters. Jerry Andrewlavage (1974-77), Mike Powers (1983-86) and Lane Schwartzberg (2001-04) come to mind as placekickers.

[Cocky]

Ashley Martin from JSU is no doubt the best looking.

[purduecrum]

Mike Scifres... Where is the love for the punters?

[Attila the Hen]

Hey, I thought this was a football board. Kickers are not football players.

How could I forget that game LMAO!! The fewest points ever scored at Stambaugh stadium....... YSU onl rushed the ball 81 times in that game....
It went by fast.... also add the fact we recovered a fumble in that game AND intercepted 6 passes...

[Eaglegus2]

Tim Foley...........set the record by kicking a 63 yard FG.

Georgia Southern, of course.

[mtgrizfan4life]

As for kicker that was good in college and pros, Adam Vinatieri (SP?).
As for college career, let the stats speak for themself, Kris Snyder. All time leading 1AA kicker for points, enough said.

[RabidRabbit]

If you are going to use guys who didn't play in IAA but their team is now IAA, IMO there is no doubt the top guy would be:

Adam Vinatieri, South Dakota State (when they were DII)

Parker Douglas, SDSU's current kicker, a JR., has already bypassed Adam's records at State in distance, number, total kicking points, and season records. He broke through on the 2nd of 4 field goals which won the McNeese game this year. His longest is I believe 55 or 56 yds.

[grizband]

As for kicker that was good in college and pros, Adam Vinatieri (SP?).

Plus, he was up to over 110 consecutive extra points at one time. I also saw him kick a 57 yarder that would have been good from a few more. With the apparant lack of quality kickers in the NFL, I can't believe he hasn't been given a chance somehwhere.

That is quite a few PAT's. I know there were a couple of games in which Snyder was the close to the entire offense; in fact, one game which we won 12-7, he was the entire offense with 4 field goals.

His PAT total has been helped by having a potent offense to kick for. In 2004 he was 66-66 on PATs. Not many kickers get that many opportunities. He doesn't get as many FG opportunites because of the tendency SIU has to punch it into the end zone. He only gets about 15 shots at a FG/year.

Snyder was 50-54 his freshman year, 63-64 his sophomore year, 50-50 his junior year, and 47-48 his senior year, for a total of 210-216. If you add up the total field goals kicked it breaks down like this:

16-25
16-30
19-32
25-30
76-117

This gives Chris a total of 438 points kicking, plus a few more he scored on converions and TDs. The discrepancy here is that playoffs didn't count until 2003, so his 2000-2002 playoff stats (10 games) don't count.:nonono2:

[PantherRob82]

Brian Wingert just set UNI's all time points record last week against Indiana State.

Oh man do I miss Lane...:bawling: :bang:

[Kill'em]

I haven't seen every kicker so I'll go with the homer pick, Tim Foley. Foley was a money kicker and his 63 yard kick didn't just get over the crossbar. It cleared it by a good 10 yards.

[Green26]

Maybe I missed this above, but Chris Snyder of Montana has the single season scoring record for a kicker at 122, in addition to the career record, as discussed above. Montana's current kicker, Carpenter, has a chance to break Snyder's career record and perhaps season too. Snyder has the career record for consecutive extra points, at 126. Had he not had to kick in a very nasty rain and wind storm at Sac. St. his senior year, he would not have missed for over 2 years. Of the 6 extra points he missed in 4 years, I believe 2 were missed in his first game.

I attended the game in which Jan Stenerud attempted the long kick mentioned above (apparently 103 yards). It was an incredibly windy day, and MSU was not having any success with punting, with some punts being blown backwards, so coach Jim Sweeney put in Stenerud to try a FG (hoping it would be lower and go further than a punt). It didn't go too far either. The rumor around Bozeman was that Stenerud could have been a punter too, but he would have needed someone to catch the snap for him and hand him the ball. Apparently, being a soccer player in Norway, he didn't have great hands. MSU is where Frosty Peters played. I believe he kicked 17 field goals in a game--all drop kicks. I could go on and tell you that Jim Sweeny Jr. was my high school quarterback, but I'll stop.

[Tribe4SF]

I would nominate Scott Christie of William & Mary and who had a stellar career with Buffalo Bills. I saw Christie kick at Goodmanin the late 80's and his extra points went up an onto the entrance plaza beyond the south endzone. Have never seen such quick height and acceleration of a kicked ball since.:nod:

That is STEVE Christie, not Scott. He was, indeed, a great one, as evidenced by his NFL career. Still holds the SuperBowl record for longest FG at 54 yards. Had a number of game-winning kicks in college, including a 51-yarder against Delaware in 1989.

[UNHFan99]

What were Adam Vinatieri's #'s in college. My understanding is that he was a decent to good division two kicker but actually was challenged for his starting job throughout college. He has no doubt had the most impressive overall career next to Stenerud, but I have always been curious about his college career.

[I-AA Fan]

Actually, Wilkens has not missed and XP since his first season with the Rams (when he missed 3) ... that is why they call him "Mr. Automatic" or "money". That is 11-years and counting.

I am not convinced that Wilkins was YSU's best kicker of the I-AA era. Paul McFadden did not have quite the NFL tenure ... although he held the NFL single-season scoring record (which I think was broken last year). He also held the Eagles all-time field goal record, which was also broken last year. Also he holds the Eagles record for consecutive FG's ... with 68. He, in my opinion, was a better kicker in his collegiate career than Wilkens. He was the last barefoot kicker at YSU (and possibly DI), and the last in the NFL as well. I remember that the opposing coaches used to tell their players to go after his bare foot and try to step on it. They ejected 3 opposing players in one game ... it was almost comical to watch. I am thinking it was Murray in 1984 or 85. The coach protested McFadden's participation on the grounds that he was not "in proper uniform", as he only wore a sock on the sidelines, and he did not bring the other shoe. So, McFadden was ordered to put on his shoe. I remember another player had to give him a cleat, then leave the field himself, as he was then out of uniform. He took it off right before the snap & the coach protested again. They moved the kick back to make which made it a (then YSU record) 50+ yarder on the penalty, and he still nailed it.

[USDFAN_55]

Billy Cundiff from Drake was pretty good. I saw this guy hit a 60+ yard field goal with plenty of leg to spare, plus he was automatic from 45 and in.

[boonegoon]

Bjorn Nitmo. No question

[ysubigred]

Even though Jeff Wilkins was great, I would have to go with Mackenzie Hoambrecker from UNI. Mr. Automatic to me. The dude was amazing... booting a 59-yard field goal to beat MSU (then SMS). How many people can say that?

Also, he was one of few kickers who could consistently kick extra points over YSU's net.

Villanova I-AA 1st-Round 23-20 W 1992 Youngstown, OH
The Citadel I-AA Quarter-Finals 42-17 W 1992 Charleston, SC
Northern Iowa I-AA Semi-Finals 19-7 W 1992 Cedar Falls, IA
Marshall I-AA National Championship 31-28 L 1992 Huntington, WV

I'm holding a gruge with Wilkins over the late missed FG that would have sent this game to OT and a posible 5th NC for the Guins :bawling:

College career

Vinatieri was originally recruited to kick for Army (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army) and attended West Point (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Military_Academy) for several weeks in 1991 before deciding to return home to South Dakota. He was a four-year letterman at South Dakota State University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota_State_University) as a placekicker and punter. He finished up his college years of football as the school's all-time scoring leader with 185 career points scored. (His younger brother Beau was a place kicker at Black Hills State University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hills_State_University) before graduating in 2003.)

Tim Foley...........set the record by kicking a 63 yard FG.

Georgia Southern, of course.

Foley owns the NCAA IAA record for career % of field goals made over 50 yds (10-11) and for over 40 yds (18-25).

Strange twist to that 63 yd record. It was scored against JMU in 87', and the next year a freshman kicker for GSU set a record for freshmen with a 60 yarder against...JMU.

Also, that 63 yd FG record was tied on the same day by a kicker from Ark St, and has now stood for 20 years.

Hoambrecker was amazing. UNI also had a kicker named Brian Mitchell back in late 80's/early 90's that might have been his equal though! Mitchell holds UNI's record for consecutive field goals at 26! :eek:

What ever happened to Hoambrecker? I'm surprised he's not in the NFL. He's a kicker to look up to.

[BEAR]

UCAs James Paul kicked 49 PATs before having one blocked that nearly tied the school record of 50 straight. His punts have been beyond ridiculous with 3 of them being 74, 76 and a huge 81 yarder! His field goal % is average 8/13 and our opponents are 11/17 so about equal in that dept. He is pretty good on kickoffs:

KICKOFFS No. Yds Avg TB OB
---------------------------------------
Paul,James 37 2303 62.2 14 2

He can boom them and he is only a junior so we have one more year of him bailing us out of the 5 yard line.:hurray:

If he goes pro I am guessing he will probably only kick PATs unless he gets more accurate on the distance of the long field goals. He may or may not stack up with your favorite, but he is pretty good. :twocents:

[PantherMan]

What ever happened to Hoambrecker? I'm surprised he's not in the NFL. He's a kicker to look up to.

He made the Chargers practice squad for a short time. Then he just worked out with the Carolina Panthers this preseason and kicked in the preseason games while their usual kicker got over an injury. He even had to quit his "day job" to go to the Carolina camp!

[blur2005]

sure its a bit surprising but he was 1st team all conference punter 2 years running so i wonder if the converted to place kicking in college and if he did, the learning curve could explain the low percentage

At induction he owned 10 Southern Conference, 18 WCU and five NCAA I-AA kicking records. He kicked 71 field goals including 11 of 50 or more yards and accounted for 302 points. He missed only one extra point attempt in four seasons. His jersey was retired on Sept. 30, 2006.


Prior to him , in the early 1980s was Dean Biasucci of Western Carolina who went on to play for the Colts in the NFL.

[UNHFan99]

Vinatieri is a great story. I heard that he slept in the driveway of the guy that chose who gets to kick in NFL europe just to make sure he was going to have an opportunity. He obviously figured out how to kick better now than in college.

[Jaxhen]

As far as punters go, how about Sean Landeta from Towson, although this was probably before they were I-AA.

"By the end of the 2005 season, Landeta had amassed 1,401 punts for 60,707 yards (43.3 yards per punt average), with 381 punts in the 20 and 166 touchbacks and a 35.3 net yard average. His punts, punting yards, and punts in the 20 are all among the NFL's top 5 leaders in each category."

Prior to him , in the early 1980s was Dean Biasucci of Western Carolina who went on to play for the Colts in the NFL.


Kirk Roach, WCU

The Doraville, Ga., native is Western Carolina's all-time scoring leader with 302 points. He connected on 71-of-101 field goals in his career and only missed one extra point, making 89-of-90. In addition to holding those school records, Roach still owns NCAA records for most field goals attempted in a career (101), most field goals made in a season of 50 yards or more in a season (7) and career (11), most games kicking two or more field goals (25), longest average distance of field goals attempted (40.5) and highest percentage of field goals made in a season from inside 40 yards as he connected on all 17 attempts in 1986.

Roach also owns Southern Conference records for most field goals attempted in a season (30 -- while also ranking second and ninth-tied on the list), most field goals made in a season (24 -- while also ranking third and 10th-tied on the list) and most field goals made in a career (71). After his four years at Western, he ranked first on the SoCon all-time scoring list with his 302 points, a total which currently ranks seventh in league history, and second on the NCAA I-AA all-time scoring list among kickers, a total which currently ranks 10th.

In 1984, Roach led the SoCon (79 points) and ranked 16th nationally in scoring (7.2 ppg), while ranking ninth nationally in the category in 196 (8.73 ppg) and 21st nationally in 1987 (7.18 ppg). He led the nation in field goals made in 1986 (2.18 per game), while ranking second in 1984 (1.60 per game) and fourth in 1987 (1.73 per game).

Roach's contribution to the Catamount football team went beyond his scoring as he was a weapon on kickoffs. Most of his kickoffs landed in or beyond the endzone so they were not returnable. When a team did return the kickoff, at 6-3 and 223 pounds, Roach turned into a viable defender. He made 11 tackles as a senior, including nine solos stops, and registered 10 tackles in 1987, all solo stops.

If Brian Wingert keeps it up, we might talk about him. Last night one of his kickoffs hit the goalpost about 1/4 of the way up.

He kicked that ball from the 45 after a defensive penalty on the extra point that was assessed on the kickoff.

Oh and about the UNI vs SIU kicker right now, I would take the SIU kicker, both 100% on XP's but SIU is 100% on field goals and UNI is 72.2%. Brian Wingert himself would tell you that 100%>72.2%

Couldn't get back to Youngstown. How is Wingert compared to Hoambrecker? Hoambrecker is a tough act to follow!

[BillLuc1982]

He made the Chargers practice squad for a short time. Then he just worked out with the Carolina Panthers this preseason and kicked in the preseason games while their usual kicker got over an injury. He even had to quit his "day job" to go to the Carolina camp!

Do you think he'll have any more chances to go pro. I think the Redskins could use him. Why didn't he try out?

Did the Tampa Bay Bucs' kicker attend a I-AA school? He had a nice 62-yarder at the gun to beat Philadelphia yestarday.

No, he attended Baylor. Should be I-AA but it's been I-A.

Not saying he's the best of all-time, but Piotr Czech a Junior from Wagner is putting up some pretty good numbers.

He has 2 FGS from 54 yards this year - best in I-AA. He is 3 for 4 from 40+ yards for the season.

He was 63 of 66 PATs heading into this season, and is a perfect 19 of 19 this year. That's 82 of 85 in his career to date (96.5 %)

He also has some very good punting stats.
