Kent State kicker Andrew Glass could tie, set program record at Tennessee

Kent State kicker could tie and break career field goal record at Tennessee on Saturday.

Kent State kicker Andrew Glass enters Saturday’s contest at No. 9 Tennessee (2-0) with an opportunity to become the Golden Flashes’ all time leader for made field goals in program history.

The 5-foot-10, 172-pound senior is one field goal shy of tying Freddy Cortez’s career record (56) for the Kent State football program.

Cortez played for Kent State from 2009-12. He converted 56-of-78 field goal attempts and 131-of-138 extra point attempts, totaling 299 career points. Cortez’s longest field goal was 49 yards in 2011.

Glass enters Week 3 against the Vols having converted 55-of-74 field goal attempts and 102-of-103 extra point attempts during his Kent State career. He has totaled 267 points and recorded a career long field goal of 50 yards in 2022.

Glass’ only missed extra point was at Akron last season.

Kickoff between the Vols and Golden Flashes (0-2) is slated for 7:45 p.m. EDT and will be televised by SEC Network at Neyland Stadium.
