Jake Suder, the kicker for the Falcons football team, hit a 53-yard field goal in practice as part of a challenge by Head Coach Mike Jinks to earn a full scholarship for the rest of his collegiate career.
However, Suder was able to forget all of the pressure and put the kick through the uprights resulting in a team-wide celebration.
“There’s pressure involved in every single kick. I take in the team type atmosphere,” Suder said. “But I try not to think about the pressure or anything else but the task at hand, which is making the field goal… It’s not really an actual method I use, I just try to go out there with the clearest mind possible and take my steps back and just line up and kick.
