Oklahoma Freshman Wins $200K Field Goal on ESPN College GameDay

Oklahoma freshman Jack Daugard, an accounting major from Houston and a lacrosse player, successfully kicked a 30-yard field goal on ESPN's College GameDay, winning $200,000 from Pat McAfee's weekly kicking contest. Despite limited prior kicking experience, Daugard, who wore his own cleats and listened to Frank Ocean to get focused, nailed the kick, exciting the crowd and the College GameDay crew. This marked the second consecutive week a student made the kick, prompting McAfee to also donate $100,000 to a charity founded by Michigan linebacker Ernest Hausmann. The contest, which started in 2023, awards money from McAfee's own pocket to students who make the kick, with over $1.1 million given out so far. Daugard's kick took place during the show broadcast from the University of Oklahoma ahead of the Sooners' game against Michigan. His success has sparked excitement among the Oklahoma community and fans nationwide.
