Florida State Kicker Sets Record in Game

The NFL preseason has begun, and bettors are eager to make futures bets, with one highlighted wager being on the longest field goal made during the regular season, set at over 62.5 yards. Notable kickers to watch include Jake Bates of the Detroit Lions and Brandon Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys, both of whom have demonstrated strong long-range kicking abilities. In college football, Florida State's Ryan Fitzgerald recently made headlines by scoring a 59-yard field goal against Georgia Tech, showcasing his potential to contribute significantly to his team's success. However, college football history shows that several players have kicked longer field goals, with notable records dating back to the 1970s. Justin Tucker holds the NFL record for the longest field goal at 66 yards, but college records reveal four players have surpassed this distance, albeit with the aid of a kicking tee. This season, as college and NFL teams gear up, the focus on kicking performances is likely to intensify as fans and bettors alike keep a close eye on these pivotal plays.
