Watch: Clemson kicker coming off ACL surgery drills 60-yarder

One of Clemson’s place kickers is back at full strength, and it appears he still has a cannon for a leg.

Clemson kicker Robert Gunn hasn’t taken the field in a college game yet, but the freshman appears to have a cannon for a leg.

Coming off a torn ACL suffered during his senior year of high school, Gunn was forced to miss Clemson’s spring game and has been in a brace over the last few months. However, it appears he is nearing full strength as he recently drilled a 60-yarder at Clemson’s Allen N. Reeves Football Complex.

Committing to Clemson in June of 2021, Gunn was a three-star recruit who 247Sports Composite ranked as the No. 8 kicker in the nation. He played for Pinellas Park High School in Largo, Fla., where he had a career-long 57-yard field goal in 2021 and a career mark of 52 touchbacks on 55 kickoffs.

The 6-foot-2, 165-pounder will be one of five place kickers on Clemson’s roster this upcoming season, with B.T. Potter entering his fifth and final season with the Tigers.
