There is only one Big Ten kicker who has not missed a kick all year long, and he plays for the Wisconsin Badgers.
Nathaniel Vakos has been a remarkable addition for Wisconsin through four games of the year, and is a perfect 7-7 kicking field goals. He has a long of 49 yards on the year. Last year, Vakos was the starting kicker for Ohio University, and went 19-23 on field goals while going 48-49 on extra points.
The Badgers have been up and down at the kicker spot in recent years, and finally have stability and trust in a position that can win you close games.
7️⃣/7️⃣ on the season 𝙖𝙣𝙙 the only Big Ten kicker to be perfect through five or more tries this season.
Yeah, this guy can kick 😮💨🦿#OnWisconsin | @nathanial_vakos pic.twitter.com/Ln2CDFvYsA
