PROVO — When it comes to scoring points, BYU true freshman place-kicker Skyler Southam just might be an offensive weapon who has been underutilized to this point of the season.
Southam has a long-distance field goal range that hasn’t been seen for quite a while in Provo. He kicked a 57-yarder while playing at Wasatch High School.
The last time BYU made a field goal of 50 yards or more was in 2006, when Jared McLaughlin booted a 53-yarder at Air Force.
“I would make a prediction that we’ll have one (of at least 50 yards) this year,” said special teams coach Ed Lamb.
