With the media watching from the balcony and his teammates surrounding him, Greg Huegel did not look like a walk-on when he drilled a 47-yard field goal to close practice on Thursday inside Clemson’s Indoor Practice Facility.
The kick could have been good from 50-plus yards. Even when the ball came off his foot, it sounded different than the kicks from Alex Spence and Christian Groomes.
On Friday, Huegel continued to impress the coaching staff as he drilled kicks from 25, 28, 37 (twice) and 43 yards. He did miss one kick, but that miss was placed on the holder after he dropped the snap and failed to get the ball set before Huegel kicked it.
