Placekicker U

Now here’s a helluva stat ($$).

But at no position may Georgia be more dominant than placekicker: Georgia has had more placekickers drafted (seven) than any other college since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. The SEC kicking record books are replete with Georgia names. There is only one true placekicker in the College Football Hall of Fame, and he’s a Dawg: Kevin Butler.

You should read the whole story, which starts with Allan Leavitt and leaves off with Jared Zirkel.  It’s an amazing run of continued excellence (even surviving Jon Fabris’ “challenges”).  The other cool thing is how the elders, like Butler, have been there for the newer guys.

Hopefully, the run continues.
